Our students come to Canada from the Dream School in Korea for the first or second semester of their grade 8 year. Here, students are placed in a host home for the duration of their five month stay. As an honorary family member, each student joins in on the activities, chores, and rhythms of their host family. During the semester, the school provides a Monday to Friday classroom schedule with ESL trained teachers. In addition to academics students participate in physical activities twice a week. These activities include skating, golfing, kick-boxing, and the like! Students also participate in weekly clubs, such as art, worship, cooking, or sewing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9e0f640fcd40ab45ccf16/1588192341826-OST1K2ZKCSWHAM2XVUX7/priscilla-du-preez-OYDSBCgkphA-unsplash.jpg Home - Teachers The teaching staff of DCI works closely together as a team to create a fun and engaging learning experience for students. Upon arrival, students are evaluated and placed in one of three classes based on their initial understanding of English. Because of our smaller class sizes, teachers are able to spend time focusing on each individual’s learning needs. As a result, we consistently see a vast improvement in English comprehension, as well as confidence in speaking by the end of the semester. We are looking for people experienced in teaching English as a second language, who want to invest in developing students through education, and who are passionate about discipling young people in their faith throughout the course of their time together.

As Korean parents entrust their children to our care, we believe there is a unique opportunity for your home to become a place of international ministry as you host Dream Canada students. When hosting with us, you are never hosting a student alone. We have staff dedicated to supporting, praying for, and checking in on our host families as students integrate into the home. We host two group gatherings per semester, which create a sense of community and network. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9e0f640fcd40ab45ccf16/b1d86867-dc5c-4e95-9c8b-3d15fc434bba/Screenshot+%281%29.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9e0f640fcd40ab45ccf16/1588622333388-C1N2UUBRYMQLUEI05I1I/Screen+Shot+2020-05-04+at+12.28.29+PM.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9e0f640fcd40ab45ccf16/1588622364048-3AULVW5XHTR7M4W5QS5Z/Screen+Shot+2020-05-04+at+12.30.11+PM.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9e0f640fcd40ab45ccf16/c9d72779-2f54-4e20-b14c-7c7de73a4d50/Screenshot+%285%29.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9e0f640fcd40ab45ccf16/1588872576132-1CUJ39Y84LC4F3HVMDMJ/Screen+Shot+2020-05-04+at+12.34.44+PM.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9e0f640fcd40ab45ccf16/1588872618823-KCKN0Y2MLM3I4HV4ACL1/Screen+Shot+2020-05-04+at+12.33.47+PM.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9e0f640fcd40ab45ccf16/1588872669474-ZZCW36ZTIUZE80HXEPUL/Screen+Shot+2020-05-04+at+12.33.17+PM.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9e0f640fcd40ab45ccf16/1588873700504-LCUOV93ULF6BP7LYXGFQ/Screen+Shot+2020-05-07+at+10.45.47+AM.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9e0f640fcd40ab45ccf16/1588873739949-SFI1ALVE0GC9MMNX7A2D/Screen+Shot+2020-05-07+at+10.43.57+AM.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9e0f640fcd40ab45ccf16/1588873785125-9GDLI12BCNJZKRSDH8ED/Screen+Shot+2020-05-07+at+10.46.23+AM.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9e0f640fcd40ab45ccf16/1588873861870-TJCS403Y8EQSWCVU0L1N/Screen+Shot+2020-05-07+at+10.42.16+AM.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9e0f640fcd40ab45ccf16/1588874202397-ZPS2CNPGRHLD3SIDK371/Screen+Shot+2020-05-07+at+10.45.36+AM.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea9e0f640fcd40ab45ccf16/1588876489091-9NHI0LJ7BYEF0XCE3JR6/jakub-kapusnak-4f4YZfDMLeU-unsplash.jpg Home - “Understanding languages and other cultures builds bridges.
