English Only Policy

Cloud Nine College (“CNC”) English Only on Campus

All students must always use English and only English while on campus at Cloud Nine College. On your first day at CNC, you will be required to sign the “English Only Policy” promise to use only English on campus. If a teacher or staff member hears you speaking your native language, you will receive a ‘violation slip’ and you will be required to report for a self-study that day or the next day for an extra English work session. After three violation slips you will be required to report to any of the Academic Director/School Manager/President.

Each term, CNC teachers and administrators enforce the “English Only” policy strictly. All students must understand that total immersion improves everyone’s learning rate and quality of learning while at CNC.
