The school commonly includes International Students among the student body. With no English as an Additional Language (EAL) course available, students need to come with some workability in English to enjoy success. Our Student Services department offers daily support with assignments and assessment preparation. We also encourage international students to be involved in a home-stay as living with a Canadian family will help ease the transition between cultures and will provide a supportive environment for personal concerns that arise out of the school situation. The school can assist in securing suitable home-stays.
Entrance requirements and program of studies
International students are required to complete at least six Manitoba credits at the high school level. Two of these credits must be the English Language Arts 40S and Active Healthy Lifestyles (Phys. Ed.) courses in their Grade 12 year. Report cards will be sent to both guardians and parents.
The courses offered consist of basic subjects required for University Entrance, plus a few options. All students are required to complete the compulsory credits (courses) at each level of study. The remainder of the credits may be chosen from the options available. One Christian Studies credit must be completed during each year of attendance.
The final list of required courses will be worked out upon arrival, but in all cases they must meet Manitoba Education requirements for graduation.
