INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
Newbridge Academy welcomes many international students to our comprehensive English as a Second Language Study Program. Newbridge Academy is a non-profit, independent school committed to the development of the child’s mind, body and spirit through the integration of education and sport.
About the ESL Program
Our program offers English as a Second Language classes with a qualified and professional instructor. Each class will focus on many skill areas (speaking, listening, reading, and writing) and will provide all students the language they need to live, work, study and be comfortable in Canada. Tuition costs are $11,500 CDN.
Homestay
Newbridge offers a convenient home stay program for all international students. We recommend that all international students be a part of our homestay program. We do our best to provide students a family where there is a Newbridge Academy student the same age and gender as the boarding student and that the student is located close to the school for travelling purposes.
Host parents will be in good standing with Newbridge and will either be parents of students, members of our board, or friends/relatives of Newbridge Students. The boarding allowance is $7,000 for the year, which helps to meet the costs of caring for international students.
Travel Assistance & Insurance
We will meet international students at Halifax International Airport and introduce them to their host families and the community. We will do our best to provide a comfortable welcome into our school. On the return journey home, we will also provide transportation to the Airport and obtain Travel Assistance for the student if it is needed.
Passports, visas, and other travel documents are the responsibility of the sending family. Each country’s requirements will be different. Medical insurance is also arranged for all international students.
How to Apply
Please see the International Student Admissions Package for all forms. All forms must be filled out completely and faxed, e-mailed, or dropped off to Newbridge Academy.
Forms can be faxed to 1-902-252-3108 or e-mailed to [email protected]
Please allow significant time for your application to be reviewed and accepted. It is not unusual for this process to take up to a month after we receive your application. It is best to apply by June for the school year beginning in September.
