The schools of the division
Winnipeg School Division takes international students in 7 schools: Daniel McIntyre, Gordon Bell, Technical Vocational, Grant Park, Sisler High School, Kevin High School and Collège Churchill.
The manager for international students is very present. She encourages international students to take part in school life, to join clubs and to make friends with Canadian pupils.
The division also offers a monthly activity or excursion for international and Canadian students. A ski weekend is generally offered.
Host family
The families are selected by the school division's accommodation manager. They welcome the student as a member of their family and share their culture and their way of life.
They look after the young person's safety, well-being and support. The families live in the residential neighbourhoods of Winnipeg, generally at most 30 minutes from the school by bus or on foot. Convivial gatherings between host families may also be organised.
Local coordinator
During the stay, the student benefits from the help and support of the manager for international students. She answers questions and provides the necessary assistance.
She becomes the main point of contact during the stay and organises a monthly activity or excursion for international and Canadian students.
