What Makes Prince George Special?

Prince George offers an ideal immersion experience for international students. The city population is primarily English-speaking, giving students maximum exposure to the language and Canadian culture. Our smaller schools and small numbers of international students ensure that each student receives personalized attention. Our teachers and administrators know the international students as individuals and care about their progress and well-being.

Prince George offers all the advantages of a mid-size community with the friendly atmosphere of a small town, along with many excellent cultural, recreational, and educational facilities. Prince George is a safe, affordable city set in the midst of beautiful lakes and rivers, forests and mountains. With excellent schools, a college, and a university, quality education at all levels is easily accessible.

Prince George is located in the geographic center of British Columbia, Canada's most westerly province. Only one hour away from Vancouver by air, Prince George is the regional center of northern BC for business, transportation, health, and education.

School District No. 57 works in partnership with Shecana International to register and care for our visiting students.  Shecana provides top quality care and support to students and families and SD57 provides excellent educational services.  Together, our efforts provide a rich cultural learning experience for all our visitors.
