VIA ESL Levels
Victoria International Academy ESL Programs are based on the idea that learning English has three main structures: 
1 - classroom study that uses motivating authentic English materials that teach students to function in real-life situations,
2 - homework to reinforce what has been taught in the classroom,and
3 - outside class use to give students a feeling of success and achievement as they learn and that they can successfully communicate in real life situations.

VIA ESL maximum class size is 8 students. This gives students more speaking time and more teacher contact than schools with larger classes. A combination of grammar, idioms, phrasal verbs, and pronunciation help our students improve their speaking skills quickly and effectively. Lessons are based on interesting topics that encourage language use, class discussions, and projects that support learning natural communication skills.
