INFORMATION:

Upper Canada District School Board offers short term programs throughout the school year.  They have designed  these packages so that students can get a feeling of what Canada is like.  We generally recommend that most students go to Canada on a summer camp first to see what it is like.  Do Education recommends applying to the Upper Canada District School Board for many reasons.  We believe that Upper Canada is dedicated to educating their students.  Upper Canada is also located in a rural area which offers true Canadian culture & very few international students.  There are 21,000 elementary students & 13,000 secondary students attending 100 schools in the school board.  It is also the home of our CEO & founder of Do Education, Stephen M. Coon, who was educated from grade 1 to 12 within the Upper Canada District School Board.  There are many other reasons that make Upper Canada a great place for your child's future.

LOCATION:

It is about 3 1/2 hours from Toronto & 2 hours from Montreal.  It has the small town, friendly communities where most people know there neighbours.  At the same time there are the cities a short drive or train ride away.  The communities located in the Upper Canada Board are relatively safe.  It is a great place to send your children to enjoy & learn Canadian culture & the English language.
