Getting to school looks a little different in Kyoto!

During the fam tour, our coordinators got to experience a “normal” school commute for many local students - biking to the station, hopping on a train, transferring to a bus, and finishing with a short walk to campus.

It was such a great reminder of how everyday life can look so different from what we’re used to in Canada - and how much there is to learn from experiencing another culture’s daily routine.

Happy Mother’s Day! Especially to our host mothers…thank you for your kindness, caring, and everything you do to support our international students.

Wonderful to see our students exploring another province!

This past weekend, Daniela from Mexico and Aline from Brazil spent time in Moncton enjoying an unforgettable trip. They attended Stars on Ice, visited the zoo, and made sure to try some true Canadian favourites—BeaverTails and fresh lobster!

We are honoured to be the recipient of the the StudyTravel Secondary School Award, High School Board/District in Canada. We extend our sincere appreciation for those who voted for us, and to all our partners for their continued support of the NSISP.

Wishing everyone a very Happy Easter.

Day 5, Wednesday: Today was incredible!! We had so so much fun going dog sledding and snowshoeing !
We enjoyed an amazing lunch before taking the bus back to Montreal to attend a graffiti workshop and to go for a walk in Old Montreal.
The curfew got extended to 11pm today so that we had lots of time to sign our Canada flags and spend our last evening together! It’s hard to believe that our march trip is almost over , we all loved it a lot!! 🐕🛷

It looks chilly!! But the students and chaperones are still enjoying their adventure!

Day 4, Tuesday: On our way to Montreal we stopped at the Sugar Shack Farm to enjoy lots of maple syrup, traditional quebecoise music and the freezing weather (at least we tried to).
We spent the rest of the drive playing games, chatting and sleeping. After arriving in Montreal, we went to the Parc du Mont-Royal to get the best view on the skyscrapers. In the evening we visited some important monuments in the icy air.
We had a good travel day with ! 🍁🥰
