The Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board is pleased to welcome the world to
Windsor to explore all that our region has to offer, while receiving a world class education in the
process. Windsor and Essex County is located within the Great Lakes region in Southwestern
Ontario. In fact, it happens to be the southernmost region in all of Canada, stretching as far south
as Rome, Italy and San Francisco, California. But a moderate climate is not the only thing we
have to boast about. We are located in the center of North America, which means that we are
central to everything you could possibly hope to experience during your time with us. With cities
such as Toronto, Montreal, Chicago, New York, Washington, Boston and so many others within
driving distance, there will be no shortage of opportunities for you to explore. In addition, we are
only 10 minutes from Detroit and we enjoy all that a big city offers with the safety and comfort of a
smaller community.
Ontario students consistently rank among the best in the world; a reflection of high
academic standards, dedicated teachers and administrators, and a large investment in
education. Our schools are modern, state-of-the-art facilities that offer a wide range of course
offerings and specialized programs such as International Baccalaureate, French Immersion,
Special High Skills Major Programs, etc. Our International Education Program is open to
students from Kindergarten through to Grade 12 with a variety of program options to choose
from. We offer both full year and semester programs, short term study programs, and ESL
summer and winter camps that are loaded with fun activities and memorable excursions. Our
schools offer a full range of extracurricular activities, English second language training,
organized excursions throughout the region and so much more!
As a Catholic school system, we are committed to building an environment where
students will feel safe and comfortable. Our homestay program requires in-home visits,
interviews, criminal background checks, and reference checks before any student is placed in a
home. As well, our students and host families are pre-screened to match students with families
based upon compatibility. It is important to us that students are provided with a s u p e r i o r
education, but it is equally important that they are provided with an
enriching experience that they will remember forever. Our ultimate
goal is to nurture the mind, body, and soul of our students. If you are
thinking about pursuing an educational experience abroad, then
we hope that you consider the Windsor-Essex Catholic District
School System.
Sincerely,
Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board
