Saskatoon International Education

The South Saskatchewan River runs right through the beautiful city of Saskatoon. The riverbank is a popular spot for picnics, walks, bike rides, and so much more!

We are celebrating our students this Saturday with a BBQ at the forestry farm. Looking forward to connecting with families - hosts and natural - and all@of our wonderful students to celebrate those finishing their programs or graduating from high school.

Fun fact about Saskatchewan:

“Covering 651,900 square kilometers - half of the province is covered in forest and 100,000 lakes and rivers are dotted across this vast landscape” (https://www.tourismsaskatchewan.com/trip-planning/visitor-info/about-saskatchewan).

Johannes 🇩🇪 and Cosima 🇩🇪 have been spending semester 2 in Outdoor School, an outdoor education program that has been offered through since 1997. In this unique grade-11 program, students get to experience winter, spring, and summer while exploring the beautiful province of Saskatchewan and completing a variety of courses: English Language Arts, Environmental Science, Geography, Physical Education, and Indigenous Studies. There are no bells or desks in their classroom; instead, students learn while backcountry camping, whitewater canoeing, backpacking, cycling, wall climbing, skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, and more!

Jonah 🇩🇪 and Jonathan 🇩🇪 are loving canoe club at Walter Murray. They are looking forward to their 3-night trip in northern Saskatchewan next week.

Northern Saskatchewan can deliver some pretty amazing photo ops. Some of our international students decided to join outdoor education programs at their high schools this spring- where they might go camping, hiking, and/ or canoeing. And- if they are lucky, they might get a chance to snap a picture like this one. (Photo taken by SIE staff member on a canoe trip in northern Saskatchewan.)
