The city offers international students the best of both worlds as they get to experience all of the amenities and conveniences of urban life while surrounded by natural beauty. With over 330 pristine lakes and over 200km of trails, Sudbury is home to many scenic landscapes and outdoor adventure opportunities. Sudbury’s safe and friendly neighborhoods make it a welcoming community for international students. Located in close proximity to major cities such as Toronto and our nation’s capital, Ottawa, Sudbury is a vibrant city with many world-renowned attractions and urban comforts. The city’s world-class facilities include Science North, one of Canada’s favourite tourism attractions, and Health Sciences North, a-state-of-the-art teaching hospital that is connected to the Northern Ontario School of Medicine. As the Education Capital of the North, Sudbury offers a number of options for post-secondary education, including Laurentian University, Cambrian College, and College Boreal. We have all the amenities of a big city including an airport with international access, active theatre and arts, a wide variety of sporting facilities and clubs, and many local festivals and shopping destinations.

The Sudbury Catholic District School Board has partnered with Muskoka Languages International (MLI) to give our international students a home away from home.

MLI Homestay, the homestay division of MLI – Muskoka Language International, is a national organization with offices in Toronto and North Vancouver.

MLI homestay has placed thousands of visitors from all over the world with caring host families over the past 25 years. Students will have a  life-changing experience by staying with a Canadian host family.  Students are able to experience Canadian culture and traditions first-hand by participating in daily family life and can be confident that they will find themselves in a safe, caring and nurturing environment with their host family.

In addition to its commitment to academic excellence, the Sudbury Catholic School Board is committed to helping students to grow socially, emotionally, and spiritually. Its devoted staff works tirelessly to ensure that students become well-rounded individuals and caring and responsible citizens. With this in mind, students are encouraged to become active in our school communities through participation in a wide variety of extra-curricular activities, clubs, and sports teams geared to all interests. In addition to developing skills like collaboration, leadership, and problem-solving skills, international students benefit from participation in extra-curricular activities which allow them to advance their English proficiency within stimulating social contexts.

Sports teams include soccer, volleyball, basketball, football and flag football, hockey, baseball, softball, cross-country running, swimming, badminton, wrestling, golf, curling, alpine and Nordic skiing, and track and field. School clubs include Student Council, Student Senate, Athletic Council, Yearbook Committee, Book Club, Fitness Club, Robotics Club, Music Club, Photography Club, Enviro-Club, and International Travel Club. All of these activities are supported by the schools and their staff and usually occur outside of class time.
