As Chair, I am very much looking forward to working with the CAPS-I Board and Executive. We will continue to lead CAPS-I members in this evolving and changing era of international education. We will continue to work towards maintaining a strong presence and relationships in current markets, as well as assist members to explore emerging markets, which will further diversify their international student enrolment. We will strive to provide agents and prospective students with sound guidance towards educational opportunities within our members' programs.
International students continue to make significant contributions to their communities and schools across Canada. These students also have a beneficial impact on the culture of learning in their schools and create positive and meaningful relationships with local students, school staff, and the community. We recognize that International students gain immeasurable enrichment from their experiences, gaining an appreciation for and learning from the Canadian perspective and way of life. Overall, these experiences are breaking down cultural barriers and creating more global citizens.
CAPS-I and its member districts strive to foster welcoming and inclusive environments for International students from differentiated source markets. To this end, CAPS-I offers;
Les 130 districts et conseils scolaires membres de CAPS-I s'engagent à faire en sorte que l'expérience canadienne des 33 000 étudiants internationaux inscrits dans les écoles publiques de la maternelle à la 12e année soit la meilleure au monde et que les étudiants internationaux au Canada aient accès à des programmes éducatifs de la plus haute qualité.
