COVID-19
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in spring 2020, many churches and ESL schools have taken their classes online via Zoom or other video communication platforms. Each church listed in the directory below has either postponed ESL classes or offers their classes online during this COVID-19 outbreak. Please contact the church directly or check their website for updated ESL class information.
Cooperative ESL Ministries does not operate ESL classes. We provide this directory for ESL Programs in Calgary and surrounding areas. If you have questions about a particular class, please contact the church directly.
