“ENGLISH SKILL EXCELLENCE” -

Understand the Strength in DiversityVancouver welcomes all ethnicities and thrives in cultural appreciation and acceptance. This stimulates the sharing of

knowledge, creativity and tradition. We carefully design our English curriculum and extracurricular activities with a theme of

Celebrating Diversity.

In our Vancouver Programs, we emphasize the development of a positive global perspective among young people. Students will

learn that today, people of the world are more closely connected and must be kind to one another. They will experience firsthand

how, in a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural city like Vancouver, people with different backgrounds can live together with appreciation

and kindness.

Can children under the age of 14 travel alone to Vancouver?

Parents or guardians need to notify the airline if their child is under 14 and will be travelling alone. Please let the airline know

that an unaccompanied minor will need supervision for their travel to and from Vancouver. The airline will arrange for an

attendant to help the child through customs and with boarding. When arranging for this special service, the airline also

needs to be informed that a Bodwell representative will be picking up the child from the Vancouver International Airport. An

unaccompanied minor service fee will apply through the airline for both ways and should be paid for in advance of coming to

Vancouver.

How will parents know that their children have arrived safely?

Bodwell will notify parents via email on the day their child arrived safely in Vancouver. Emails to receive the confirmation

must be completed on the Flight Information Form.

How will students keep their money and valuables safe?

Students are advised not to bring unnecessary valuables, such as expensive watches or jewelry, to the program. A locked

safe in the Bodwell office is available for students to keep valuables if required. Such valuables will only be available for use

a few times per week at set times. It is constantly advised to students that they lock their dorm door at all times. Bodwell

College will not be responsible for lost or stolen items during the students’ participation in the program.

What happens if a student becomes ill or gets hurt?

Bodwell arranges medical insurance coverage for all students for the duration of their program. In the case of sickness,

accident, injury or emergency, Bodwell staff will accompany the student to receive medical attention. There is a hospital

nearby all program locations.

How is security organized in the dormitories?

Only authorized personnel and students are given keys to the dormitories. Students are assigned Counsellors who stay in

the same dormitory area as their students. In addition, there is a Dormitory Manager who is on duty in the evenings and on

weekends in the event of an emergency and to assist with other issues. Security Guards patrol the university grounds at

night.

How do students do their laundry?

Counsellors are provided with laundry cards that operate the machines in the dormitories. Students will be provided with

laundry detergent and assisted by their Counsellors in doing their laundry on a regular basis.
