Discover the Canadian Winter School 10-Day Program

In an exciting collaboration, Plus One Education, a subsidiary of Riso Education Group based in Tokyo, is set to host a memorable "Canadian Winter School" program from December 27, 2026, to January 5, 2027. Designed for children aged 8 to 17, this program takes participants on a thrilling journey through two of Canada’s largest cities, Montreal and Toronto, offering them the opportunity to engage with peers from around the world while enhancing their English language skills in an immersive environment.

A Unique Learning Experience

Throughout this ten-day adventure, students will experience life in a safe and comfortable setting with lodging in dormitories or hotels. Each day is packed with English lessons and various activities, ensuring that participants are surrounded by the English language. The program aims to not only improve language abilities but also promote international awareness through cultural exchange.

Continuous Support and Communication

One of the standout features of the Canadian Winter School is the presence of a designated group leader who will accompany students from departure to return. This leader offers daily updates to parents, providing insights into their children's participation in lessons and activities, as well as their interaction with other students. Parents can expect timely reports detailing their child's progress and any concerns raised, ensuring that safety and well-being are paramount throughout the experience.
