Towns

Our programmes operate in charming city neighbourhoods and small towns with a population range of 5,000 — 100,000. They have all been selected based on their desire to host international visitors as well as the quality and variety of academic learning programmes that they offer. Participants will be in a warm, caring and safe environment where they can interact with friendly and welcoming people.

We have the support of the mayor, members of the local municipality, the local school board, the local principals and educators, and the community at large.

All towns are easily accessible. In Ontario we use Toronto as our gateway, while in the rest of Canada we use Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Halifax. We also use several US gateways including Detroit, Chicago, New York, Minneapolis and Seattle. The small towns are within a two and a half hour driving radius or a 1-hour flight from the major city centers.

Towns are all beautifully situated near lakes or mountains and are located in close proximity to some of Canada’s finest nature conservation areas, offering the opportunity to enjoy an abundance of recreational activities year round.
