Accomodations for International Students

We work with students and families on an individual basis to accommodate the specific needs of each and every child considering coming to Canada for school.

We provide above and beyond service to our international students, including but not limited to: arranging transportation and providing meal plans to suit dietary needs and allergies. We provide individualized care and supervision by STEM Montessori Academy of Canada/STEM International Academy of Canada (SMAC-SIAC) staff to ensure each child is given exceptional service while attending school in Canada.

Beyond accommodations and logistics, our staff offer individualized support to ensure a smooth adjustment for each child, including accommodating for language barriers and other specific needs.

All international students are offered accommodations through our partnership with the Canada Homestay Network which is one of the largest and most reputable homestay programs in Canada. The Canada Homestay Network has been providing home away from home arrangements for international students in Canada since 1995.

Each student is paired carefully with their host family to ensure it is the appropriate home to meet the specific needs of the child.
