CELI Facilities
CELI has a lot of facilities such as swimming pool, students lounge, cafeteria, clinic, a computer laboratory, a billiard table and a lot more.
What I like most is the students lounge. I like spending my break time there because I can feel the sea breeze. My daughters also enjoy the pool during Saturday and Sunday. Staying in CELI is a great experience.

CELI at Off Peak!!!
CELI ground was filled with enthusiasm and excitement brought about by August Rush. Students poured from various countries all over the world to experience a different approach in learning the English Language.
But it is not just any summer class, mind you. They're in the Philippines! It means they're up for an all-out summer vacation as well. It means that what they're getting themselves into is a summer class with a touch of summer vacation or vice-versa. You choose either way, it gives you the same sense: Learning while having fun.
Imagine a huge population of mixed nationalities in a single campus. You must be thinking, "Chaos". But no. A big no. It's surprising how people with the same goal can work so harmoniously with each other despite the difference in culture, beliefs, lifestyle, and a lot more. Think about the friends you'll make.
Now, as early as mid-August, bags are already packed and souvenirs are ready. Students are preparing themselves for the homecomimg because mid-August means that summer is almost over. Little by little, Students are learning CELI, but the good memories, the friendship, the learning's come with them to their respective hometowns. "... and it will stay with us forever." Students are torn between emotions of excitement and sadness. Excited because they're going back to their families, but sad for leaving another family, the CELI family. They're always reminded, however, that they can always come back, either for a visit or for another level of English language course.
