Computer Lab

  KGC’s computer lab is open for students' use during lunch hour as well as after school. The computer lab is equipped with 14 computer stations complete with free Internet access and printers.
 
 

 

Medical Insurance

  All KGC students must be covered by adequate medical insurance. International students are eligible for BC Medical Services Plan (MSP) after three months in Canada. On the first day of school, KGC will assist international students in purchasing private medical insurance to cover this three-month waiting period. KGC will also assist international students with making application for MSP.

Due to BC legislation that requires all BC residents be covered by medical insurance, it is the responsibility of all Permanent Residents and Canadian Citizens to be covered by MSP.

 

 

Lunchroom

  KGC has a bright and cheerful lunchroom specific for the use of our students. The lunchroom includes a refrigerator, several microwave ovens, a hot water machine and vending machines. The lunchroom is a great place for students to make new friends, read a magazine or enjoy the beautiful city view.
 
 

 

Advising

  All KGC staff members are willing and able to assist students by providing basic program information.

Students who require assistance with program planning will benefit from the great resources our Academic Director maintains. The Academic Director provides one-on-one assistance to students who need help planning their program or with the cultural adjustment of living and studying in Canada.

 
 

 

Airport Reception Services

 

International students coming to Vancouver for the first time can utilize our Airport Reception Services. KGC’s professional Homestay coordinators, CVI International, provide these services. See our Accommodations Page.

 
 

 

Activities and Excursions

 

Studying in Vancouver gives International students the opportunity to immerse in the adventure of a lifetime. Vancouver has earned its reputation as safe, clean, peaceful city, with a rich cultural mix. Students have the opportunity to take advantage of Vancouver’s natural beauty – stately mountains, mile long beaches and rushing rivers. Each week at KGC, our Student Assistant organizes an activity or excursion for our ESL students. These weekly activities and excursions focus on developing student’s cultural awareness and practice of the English language in a natural environment.

   
 

 

Accommodation in Vancouver

  International students new to Vancouver are encouraged to consider a homestay as their living choice. Homestay accomodation consists of a private room in the home of a Canadian family who will also provide three meals each day. Your homestay host will assist you with your adjustment to Canada and provide great opportunity to practice English. Some students will remain in a homestay for three months while they get to know the city, and others remain with the host family for the full length of their study in Canada.

KGC’s professional Homestay coordinators, CVI International have been providing these services for years.

Students who do not want to stay in a homestay can search for an apartment by staying in a hotel for the first week. International students should know it is difficult to find furnished accommodations for rent in the city.
