Policies

English Only

English Bay College has a strict "English Only" policy. Students must speak English anywhere on campus. Students who break this rule will be asked to leave the school for the rest of the day. Students who consistently break this rule will be expelled, receiving no refund and no certificate.

Attendance and participation

Students who do not attend school regularly or do not participate fully will not receive a certificate and may be asked to withdraw from the program early.

Insurance

All English Bay College students are expected to have health insurance. Proof of insurance will be requested on the first day of school. Any students who do not have insurance may purchase it through our office, if they wish. Students will not be allowed to participate in any EBC activities if they do not have insurance.
