Best Boarding school in Canada

J	Justin Ma on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I studied at Columbia International College (CIC) for the past 3 years and just graduated in May 2021. I am admitted to the University of Toronto. CIC is a boarding school with a unique total care system that support me inside and outside of my classroom learning. House parent in residence are extremely supportive at all times regardless of who you are and where you are from. I felt very welcome and well cared for during my three years in residence. CIC helped me to fulfill my dream of admission to my university choice. More important is the atmosphere at CIC. We had fun and enjoyable time while working towards our goal. The program of studies has a lot of flexibilities and I found the courses I loved and enjoyed. Moving on, even during pandemic, CIC has lots of co-curricular activities that allowed me to make many friends. Check out our Instagram. I have opportunities to build up my confidence and leadership skills. The activities are valued by many of the world’s top universities. Not to mention, if you are easily stressed about your academic or social life, CIC have a free counselling service. I used it once myself during the pandemic and I find it very helpful. With all the support and resources CIC provides, my parents and I have nothing to worry about covid safety, academic success and personal life skill issues. I am glad my parents and I chose CIC three years ago. We made the right decision.
A	Anna Massa on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The best experience. The professors and the staff are very attentive. They get you when you ask for help, they care about your well-being. The classes are very interactive and well structured. The advisors are very available when you call for them. The environment is very organized, such as its sectors, the schedule of the bus and the meal plan. The residences are welcoming, safe and comfortable. The students, at least when I was there haha, were very welcoming and cool. The student life is great, I recommend getting involved in clubs and sports because, besides you have time to do something you like, which makes you feel good, it is a good opportunity to make friends. There is a good variety of courses, where there are the mandatories and electives. Both are great if you participate in class, which for me was the main thing. If you pay attention in class, participate, do your homework well done and study for the tests, you probably will do great, and adding it all up, your grades will be very good. Mine, for example, was from 81% to 95% because I dedicated, paying attention, participating and completing all my tasks well done. About the money, if you are an international student will be somehow expensive depending on your financial condition. However, it is completely worth it if you focus and dedicate yourself to it.
A	Aline U. B. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ CIC has been an absolute blessing in my life. Teachers are enthusiastic, staff are always willing to help, peers are easy to talk to and form friendships with, and the environment is just so welcoming and fun. There is so much support and I have incredible memories there that I will cherish forever. I would definitely recommend getting involved: from clubs to the Duke of Edinburgh program, there are so many unique opportunities to develop all kinds of skills! Thank you for this once in a lifetime experience :)
N	Nana Boncano on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I was in this school for the last five years (Grade 7-12) and I'm so glad my parents brought me here. Most of the staff and teachers are kind and I made so many memories in this school. I also believe this school makes the path to university much easier as the school has relations to some of the top universities in Canada. The only downside was the food got repetitive at times but in my opinion, it was very worth it and I would recommend bringing your kids to this school :) I'm really going to miss it
H	Hsien Bing Yang on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ They should replace some staff, teacher and manager who seems like they don’t enjoy their job at all, and their daily mission is to make student’s life unconvinced and miserable.
H	HAN LIANG on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Absolutely poor pandemic restricting policies. Apparently, the school thinks that its appropriate to keep everyone in a residence with people that tested COVID positive. Very disappointing how the school handles this.
N	Nancy Contreras on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Completely the best place Of the world, I will have CIC in my mind forever, it makes me grow as a person and I meet the best people in my life, the best school ever
N	Nikolle Zavala on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The best place ever, you never know where the internet is going. If you want to ask a question, the school will never give you the answer. When the new policy was promulgated, the staff didn't bother to care. The staff in the Pine Girls loves to target people, especially the one who work in CIC long time. Don't come to this school unless you have a lot of money and don't know where to spend it.
