Recreation

With one of Canada’s best climates students come to Vernon to enjoy mountains, lakes and world class Silver Star mountain ski resort. The Vancouver Whitecaps run an elite school soccer academy with professional coaching attracting students from around the world. Vernon provides a full program of activities and students receive personalized support from teaching, clerical and homestay staff. Vernon is a great choice for all students whether they are looking to prepare themselves for North America’s universities or for a Canadian cultural and recreational experience.

A few highlights of what Vernon can offer students are:

1. a world class education at all levels, supported by a strong ESL program.
2. a safe, friendly, English-speaking city.
3. a leading tourist destination providing unparalleled outdoor activities year round.
4. dedicated international student services including supervised homestay, Canadian university placement advising, transition services, and academic support.

Our students have access to all the subjects in the British Columbia curriculum including all core academic subjects, online education, our soccer academies, outdoor education, and the fine arts.

To further explore the Canadian experience, students will stay in a Canadian home through our homestay program. This allows students to further explore what it means to be Canadian as they participate in the daily life of a Canadian family.

Vernon School District is the program for students seeking a genuine, quality Canadian education experience. We look forward to welcoming you to the Okanagan valley for your studies!
