Students will explore the outdoors, learn new skills, and get a change to practice their English outside of the classroom. Experience Kelowna in the winter! While the city of Kelowna rarely gets snow (the average daytime temperatures range from 0-10° celsius) the mountains nearby get a lot of snow, making it the perfect spot to learn to ski or snowboard. In the morning, students study English through reading, writing, grammar, and speaking. STEM activities are included in morning lessons. In the afternoon, students immerse themselves in Canadian culture with exciting and interactive activities. Accommodations include homestays, giving students the chance to experience life with a Canadian family.
