Langara English for Academic Purposes (LEAP)

March 2025 Update: 

LEAP is currently undergoing a program restructure, following the results of our 2023-24 Quality Assurance Process Audit

While we are in the process of finalizing the details and transitioning the program to this exciting new structure, the program will not be offering any new student intakes in July 2025 or November 2025 and therefore will not be accepting new applications for these sessions. 

Please check this page regularly for updates to the upcoming LEAP program dates. 

We are committed to providing all LEAP students with exceptional programming and a dynamic, student-success focused learning experience. We anticipate being able to provide more information regarding the launch of the new structure in April 2025 and we look forward to welcoming you into our new LEAP program soon. 

If you have any questions, please contact us at leap@langara.ca
