High School Program Options

Two types of high school programs are available in Ottawa.

The programs differ in their duration, academic objectives, and participation requirements.

1. Academic Year Program
(10-month academic year or 5-month semester)

Designed for students who want to fully experience life in a Canadian high school while becoming part of the local school community and everyday life in Ottawa.

2. Short-Term High School Programs
(4 to 16 weeks during the academic year)

Designed for students seeking a shorter academic and cultural experience while attending a Canadian high school and improving their English through full immersion.


Both Academic Year and Short-Term Programs allow students to experience a new culture, build international connections, and grow personally. Students receive the support they need to enjoy a complete, safe, and enriching experience.
