Our International Student Program has been designed to promote diversity and foster global citizenship. Placements are offered to qualified students who wish to join us for a year, or portion thereof. Students from around the world will be selected for a limited number of placements based on their academic and social contributions.
Coast Mountain Academy (CMA) offers a unique opportunity for international students to attend a Canadian independent school in one of Canada’s most scenic and pristine environments. Located at Quest University, in the town of Squamish, British Columbia, CMA is a school with a difference! Only forty minutes north of Vancouver, CMA is situated in the heart of Canada’s outdoor recreational capital. Mountain biking, hiking, skiing, extended expeditions and rock climbing are all part of our student experience.
Our Canadian and International students interact with teachers in seminar-styled classrooms and all subjects integrate Enriched Experiential Education (E3) activities. Hiking local mountains, participating in estuary surveys, and sharing community service opportunities are all aspects of our program. Our proximity to Vancouver affords students access to one of the world’s safest and most livable cities. Forty minutes in the other direction are the world-famous Whistler and Blackcomb mountain resorts, home of the 2010 Winter Olympic games.
