Canadian Rockies Public Schools Homestay Program is run internally by our own program staff and  provides international students the opportunity to live in a safe, secure environment with a Canadian family while attending school.  All students are placed with carefully selected host families who are within walking distance of their schools or a designated school bus stop. We provide regular contact with the student and family to ensure full support and satisfaction with placement. 

It is mandatory for international students to have health insurance coverage. Insurance coverage can be purchased through Canadian Rockies Public Schools. The division mandates medical insurance coverage to ensure that students are protected during the length of their enrolment.

Once a month our international student program organizes a get together for all our students - doing various kinds of social events, outings, learning and exploration of our surrounding areas. The activities we offer will vary slightly from year to year but guaranteed is that the outings are a fun way to connect as an international community. Many of the events we do become highlights during our students' time here. Just imagine the exciting excursions that are possible in the magnificent Canadian Rockies...
