Course description

Experience life in a Canadian High School. Improve your English and make friends for life! The Exchange Year program is designed for high school students of all ages - from Grade 9 to 12 or for those that want to take advantage of a Gap Year experience.

Erindale delivers a modern, personalized, student focused Canadian High School curriculum, reinforced with English learner language courses for academic study in Honors Mathematics, Science and Technology.

Our qualified teachers and management team draw on students’ interests, talents and learning styles to create an education that nurtures the whole student - academically, socially, and emotionally. It will be an amazing experience that will live with your student forever.

At Erindale, we provide our students with a calendar of activities every month ranging from sightseeing to sporting events, concerts, barbeques, movies, dancing, nightclubs, bowling, and more! These activities are designed to give the students a chance to practice their English in real situations and provide the students with a well-rounded experience in Canada

Support for International Students

It is essential that students graduate with the ability to use language effectively for thinking, learning, communicating.

In order to develop sufficient fluency in English to succeed in the regular academic program, students receive support from an ESL Teacher.

International students receive a pre-course English proficiency test to determine the appropriate academic program.

Peer tutoring may be arranged for students requiring assistance in adjusting to learning to learn in the English language.

Guidance counsellors and support staff are on-site.
