With lakes and old-growth forests both north and south, people can take advantage of our mild year-round climate. Students will find a close-knit community and welcoming people who are excited to share their homes with international students. Campbell River’s population is over 45,000 and the surrounding area has a combined population of approximately 60,000 people.

Pacific Coastal Airlines and Central Mountain Air are the two airlines that serve Campbell River daily with direct flights from Vancouver airport.
Living with a host family is one of the most meaningful and transformative parts of the international student experience.
Our host families are more than just accommodation—they are an extension of your support network and a true connection to Canadian life. They play a vital role in helping students feel safe, included, and confident, while building lasting relationships that often continue long after the program ends.
Families introduce students to everyday Canadian culture through shared meals, conversations, celebrations, and activities, creating an authentic and enriching experience both inside and outside the classroom.
Campbell River Schools International manages its own homestay program, allowing us to ensure high standards, strong communication, and a personalized match for every student. Our goal is to provide an exceptional experience for both students and host families—one built on care, respect, and genuine connection.
