We value our diverse environments and our communities, which are rich with culture and educational opportunities.

 

But what makes our schools really incredible? Our students are inspired by outstanding teachers and our international students are welcomed with open arms. Our dormitory leaders and homestay parents nurture and encourage students and help make their residence both a place they can call home and a sanctuary where they can relax and study. Home is where the heart is and our students are always at home at Golden Hills International.

 

Golden Hills School Division offers a variety of learning atmospheres for international students:

1. Secondary School Program
   1. Junior High
   2. High School

4. Short Term Immersion Programs (contact communications@ghsd75.ca for details)

Applicants coming to Canada to study in an academic program for more than six months will be required to obtain a study permit. Depending on the applicant's country of origin, a temporary resident visa may be required. Please visit the Government of Canada website for more details on permit, visa, and immigration requirements.
