Nova Scotia International Student Program

The Nova Scotia International Student Program (NSISP) has been offering an unparalleled public education and immersion experience to international students for 24 years. Students can choose to study for a semester, full-year, short-term programs (2-10 weeks) or in our ESL Summer Camp (July and August). Students are accepted from grades 7-12. International students can start their program in either September or February. The NSISP manages its own homestay program and students live with Canadian homestay families and are encouraged to participate in the many extra- curricular activities offered in their schools and communities. NSISP students can choose from a wide variety of subjects within the Nova Scotia curriculum and are fully integrated into the schools they attend. The NSISP annually attracts more than 2000 students from 35 countries who study in 75 of the province’s public schools.
