The York University School of Continuing Studies is a diverse learning environment bonded by a common goal: personal and professional development in a continuously changing career and academic development. It is Canada's fastest-growing school and is able to provide rapid, accessible, and innovative programmes that educate all students to adapt and lead continuously.

Students receive a practice-oriented language education from experienced and motivated instructors by taking advantage of flexible pathways, special streams, and accelerated timetables suited to their particular language level and academic goals.
