St. John Brebeuf welcomes students from all over the world into our vibrant school community. Here international students are received quickly into our student body, where they are immersed in the English language while making friends and learning about Canadian culture. In additional to receiving a high-quality academic education, international students are invited to participate fully in all of our activities, from sports to drama as well as all of our clubs, allowing for a well-rounded and enriching learning experience in a safe and culturally accepting environment. International Students may apply for either a full-year or a short-term stay.
There are few places in this world that are more picturesque. Vancouver and the Lower Mainland are situated between the Pacific Ocean and the North Shore Mountains, our environment is stunningly beautiful and geographically diverse. There are mountains to climb, waters to fish, forests to explore, and that is just the beginning. Vancouver is a first-class city, and year after year is listed as one of the most liveable cities in the world to live. It is the perfect setting for your education to take flight. St. John Brebeuf High School is conveniently located 45 minutes from the city of Vancouver in Abbotsford, and is the only Catholic High School in the Central Fraser Valley. Rich in faith, our staff and close school community is dedicated to each student that walks through our doors.
Our international students are nurtured and treated with dignity. They are surrounded by talented teachers, a welcoming student body and given every opportunity for success. Our high educational standards and expectations challenge our students academically to reach their highest potential; and prepare them for the future. International Students who successfully complete the requirements for high school graduation in British Columbia will receive a Dogwood Certificate; which meets entrance requirements for colleges, universities and other post-secondary institutions.
To better meet the needs of international students, their applications and fees are handled separately from Canadian students. Please note: all international students from China must apply through Choice Education. Please contact Emma at Choice for inquiries about application and fees etc.
