Objectives
The main objectives of CASA College are to offer high quality academic education, promote communication between students, and equip them with the necessary background, to either continue their studies for higher academic qualifications or seek for employment.

Moreover, the College aims at preparing its students to enter the ever changing world of business and provides them with sound knowledge and skills in order to be able to pursuit either further academic achievements or a successful career in the ever-changing industrial society.

In addition, one of the primary scopes of our College is to assist its students in their effort to become ethical, mature, and fair with their relations with other people.

The Business Studies Course is designed to give a thorough understanding and knowledge of the higher demanding industrial society. For this reason, all instructors are highly qualified educators and have been employed in the area of education for many years.

The College also offers a two year Hotel Administration Course which includes a four month practical training. During their training students are able to earn more money during the summer than they have to pay for their tuition fees.

CASA College also offers many interesting and challenging opportunities to improve your English language skills; a one-year Foundation Course and an English Language Course for foreign students who want to either learn English from the scratch or improve their English language. The curriculum we offer helps students to learn using English well in a variety of situations. Students are at the centre of our curriculum. Our goal is to make sure that they reach their goal in learning English. Before we decide which course is best to follow, we counsel each student individually to make sure that they stay focused on their language learning goals.

We, at Casa College, strongly believe that the nature of the service is such, that it is absolutely necessary to strengthen the relationships between people beyond the class.

For this reason, the College arranges a variety of other activities such as, social meetings and organizes other events which include traditional nights with food and music as well as dinner parties.

Admission to the College is open to all students who qualify, regardless of race, colour, religion, sex, handicap or nationality.
