ISANS offers Targeted Language Programs to support vulnerable newcomer groups by providing customized instruction, accessible learning environments and engaging teaching methods. These classes are offered in person or online using easy-to-access technology and are designed to meet the specific needs of seniors, deaf learners, young parents and youth.

Each program is structured to ensure learners feel supported and empowered as they build their English language skills in a safe and inclusive setting.
