We are proud at Limestone of providing high-quality homestays for our International students. Our program is run by our local International Education Office. We are pleased to have our Homestay Coordinators connected to our community, host students and be active in our schools. Our coordinators plan activities, are always in the schools and are readily available to assist our students. We believe strongly that the best homestay programs are run by local communities members, with a strong knowledge of the community and local schools.
Kingston is consistently ranked as one of the most livable cities in Canada. You will find many of our homestay families are active in the community in many ways all year around. Being that Kingston has a population of just over 125,000 we have all of the amenities of a larger urban centre, but with a small-town feel.
Limestone offers 6 activity trips per year to see other locations in Ontario including; Toronto, Niagara Falls, a Raptors Basketball game, skiing, Wilderness Camping, and Winterlude in Ottawa. These activities are included in the price of the program.
Kingston is an active city year around. Being on the shores of Lake Ontario, there is an active boating and sailing community outside of the Winter months. Our students also are close to activities in the Canadian Shield. Hiking, boating, skiing, skating, maple syrup production and outdoor activities abound. Frontenac Provincial Park is steps away as is Lamoine’s point and Little Cataraqui conversation areas.
All students that are studying in a Kingston secondary school with have opportunities to learn and play sports in our sports league that features over twenty-three different sports from Volleyball to Field Hockey, from Tennis to Curling. We encourage any International student to be a part of either a sports team or one of many clubs in the schools.
Our district has two very unique features as well when it comes to activities. First, all students studying at a secondary school within the Limestone DSB get use of a free unlimited Kingston City Transit bus pass. This is an outstanding way to see Kingston and get around our extremely safe city. Second, all grade nine students get a free City activity pass to local gyms, skating rinks, pools and fitness facilities. Our partnership with the City of Kingston in both of these programs is very successful.
