What
is the program?
The
Canada Exchange Program is specially designed for international
high school students wishing to have a short to medium
term study experience in Canada.
How
does it work?
Students
study with us for a focused period, usually during a
break, or brief absence, from their home school.
How
long are the study periods?
Generally,
non-credit students can make their study periods as
long or short as desired. Credit students—those
wishing to have academic credits recognized by their
home school—can take advantage of our unique semester
system. Every year we have five intake periods, and
each semester is nine weeks. So credit students can
have a study period as short as nine-weeks, after which
the student would have earned two credits.
The
best of both worlds
Braemar
has designed this program to compliment and enrich the
work students are doing at their home school. The Braemar
guidance department is able to work with the home school,
ensuring that the course of study is relevant, comprehensive,
and accurately evaluated.
Learn
English
Our
school has long experience working with international
students who do not speak English as a first language.
English ability is no prerequisite: we are glad to welcome
students at all levels. Once the students arrive, they
are tested and placed in an appropriate class. However,
if students wish to earn credits toward their high school
requirements back home, their English skills should
be good enough to function in courses other than ESL.
Can
I earn credits toward my high school diploma at home?
Braemar
is recognized and inspected by the Ontario Ministry
of Education. Our courses are toward the Ontario Secondary
School Diploma, which is recognized by high schools
and universities around the world.
After
finishing their study period here, students can have
their transcripts notarized by the local embassy of
their home country. Under normal circumstances, and
after consultation with your home school, this usually
allows your credits to be transferred.
Where
would I live?
The
Canadian experience also involves living with a Canadian
family—one of our trusted and experienced homestay
families. To learn more, click here.
