[Sponsored Report] Education in Canada: rich experience for Korean students

테스트

Thousands of students from Korea cross the Pacific and go to Canada’s top schools and universities each year, and in growing numbers, to learn English and also prepare for the challenges and opportunities of today’s globalized world. In fact, many Canadian schools are already adapting to the influx of international students, most particularly from Asia.

Sprott Shaw College is located in what many consider as Canada’s most “Asian” province: British Columbia, the closest landfall of any visitor to Canada from Asia. The college has made important strides in adapting to international trends, offering a diverse set of courses and programs tailored for Korean students looking for a globalized perspective.

“As educators, we enjoy seeing our international students grow and adapt in our campus’ international
environments,” says Patrick Dang, president of Sprott Shaw College, which has spread out over 13 locations across Britich Columbia. “Our school, which is celebrating its 110th anniversary this year, not only has the academic support uniquely structured for our international students, but also numerous other support programs to ensure that our students have the ideal academic experience. We already have Korean nationals and speakers on our staff that ensure our Korean students are well taken care of from their first day in Canada.”

In Canada, privately owned school systems have been shown to be very effective in promoting and maintaining academic excellence in its students. For instance, for Sprott Shaw, the overall dropout rate is only four percent.

The Acsenda School of Management in Vancouver — one of the newer campuses of the Sprott Shaw group — has also had tremendous success following the privatized system. Dang attributes this to the school’s supportive culture and well-rounded professorial and management team. It offers a unique combination of both “academic” degrees (taught by top educators) and “applied” degrees (taught by industry experts) — the ideal structure to prepare students for the corporate world.

He also understands that one of the key attractions and concerns for many young international students is the entire experience of moving to another country itself. “One of the main goals of our schools is for our international students to have a comfortable transition,” he explains. “We make it a key priority to ensure that international students not only get the best education, but also an incredible
experience that they will never forget. They should benefit from it for the rest of their lives.”
