Our programs include:

  • A comprehensive, all-expenses-included 10-day private homestay for children aged 7-15 (Grades 2-9)
  • Short-term language camps, outdoor adventure camps, and dance camps for children aged 7-18
    (Grades 2-12)
  • Long-term study in the Ontario education system (public and private) for students aged 12-19 (Grades 7-12)

In an effort to encourage English learners of all ages to experience the profound benefits of overseas language study, we work with ESL schools and educators in Japan to provide enriching group and individual study-abroad programs for their students. Through our association with International Student Guardianship Canada Inc. (ISGC), StartPoint Canada also arranges for the legal guardianship of the child for the duration of their stay, as required by Canadian law. Together with ISGC, we are unique in offering 24-hour Japanese-English bilingual support to students and parents alike.

By offering the most thorough and conscientious support in the industry, we give parents and their children the necessary guidance and peace of mind to ensure a safe, enjoyable, and informed study-abroad experience. StartPoint Canada: Your dream of studying in Canada starts here!
