International Schools in Montreal

Tools:

International schools can be the perfect solution for an expat student in Canada. Admission and enrollment procedures vary from school to school, but space is often limited and preference may be given to students based on nationality. Primary instruction may be any language (and multiple languages are usually taught), but it is usually in English or French. Many schools provide similar standards of schooling around the globe, providing for an easy transition between schools. Schools often provide internationally accepted accreditation such as the International Baccalaureate (IB). Tuition tends to be expensive based on local standards, but may offer high standards of learning, boast smaller class sizes, first-rate facilities, and extracurricular activities. Boarding facilities are available at some schools, but most only provide day classes.

International Baccalaureate (IB)

The IB program is offered by a number of private schools. It is taught under the supervision of the International Baccalaureate Organisation. All students study languages, social science, experimental science, mathematics and arts.

    The IB is divided into three programmes covering the following age ranges:
  1. Primary Years Programme (PYP) ages 3-12
  2. Middle Years Programme (MYP) ages 11-16
  3. Diploma Programme (DP) ages 16-18

Accreditation

The Council of International Schools (CoIS) is a non-profit association of international schools and post-secondary institutions which provides educational accreditation, teacher and leadership recruitment services, links to higher education, governance assistance and help with founding new schools. Western Boarding School Association is an association of 38 college preparatory schools in the western USA and Canada.
