International

Kindergarten to Grade 12

Students from around the world are

welcome

here.

Long-term international students

  • Our long-term students gain an authentic Canadian experience through full integration into their MRCS classes.

This fully-accredited program includes a high standard of academics, a biblical worldview, increased language proficiency, and lasting friendships with Canadian peers.

Language immersion

  • Maple Ridge Christian School offers a unique immersion experience for each international student.

Only a limited number of international students are admitted per class making it a truly integrated program. Since MRCS international students are fully immersed with English-speaking classmates, they maximize English language learning and proficiency.

Homestay program

  • Students are placed in supportive Christian Canadian homes where each homestay family has been carefully screened through a detailed application process.

The homestay family cares for the student’s social, mental, spiritual, and physical health all within a genuine Canadian context.

Welcoming community

  • Maple Ridge Christian School is known for its friendly students and staff.

Lasting friendships often develop between students of different grades and cultures. The staff create a caring community through their commitment to and involvement with the students. MRCS students and staff look forward to helping international students on their stay here!

University preparation

  • Students learn how to problem-solve and design innovative solutions through project-based learning (an educational technique used by many North American universities).

What is project-based learning? Teachers give students an inquiry question to explore, a real-world problem to solve, or a design challenge to meet. Students conduct research, collaborate with fellow students, and present their findings in innovative ways using the latest technology and applications.

“I really love MRCS! This school’s students are really friendly and you can experience a lot of things that you can’t experience in Japan. Please enjoy!”
– student from Ishikawa, Japan

Leadership skills

  • Students with leadership experience have a competitive advantage in their university applications.

MRCS international students are welcomed to apply for on-campus and off-campus leadership positions. Past international students have been leaders in the Vice Principal’s office, elementary-level art classes, and summer camps, among other programs. International students are also invited to create and lead their own extracurricular programs.

“MRCS was and always will be a family for me. I attended MRCS from Grade 10 to Grade 12, and it was definitely one of the most life-changing journeys in my life. At MRCS, I learned more about myself, my identity, and my purpose in this world. The experiences I had there constantly remind me that I made the right choice by choosing to study at MRCS.”
– Kylie Feng, Guangdong, China and Hong Kong, SAR
