Kimberley weather

Welcome to Kimberley and the Canadian Rockies!

Alpine English School (AES) is based in beautiful Kimberley, British Columbia. Once home to the world famous Sullivan Mine, Kimberley is now a four season resort destination dedicated to tourism, recreation and education.

Located in the southeastern corner of the province of British Columbia, Kimberley is about four hours from Calgary by car and only an hour and a half from Vancouver by plane. The region is known as the Kootenay Rockies and is home to numerous hot springs and heritage sites as well as some of the best golfing and skiing in all of Canada. Families learning English at AES can enjoy a variety of recreational and cultural day trips up and down the valley on their own time and as part of their own customized study packages.

Kimberley is a family-friendly community where children can enjoy many parks, trails and other playtime activities. With a year-round population of only 7000 people, AES students have the opportunity to meet and get to know members of the local community. The people of Kimberley are friendly, energetic and motivated to welcome English students from around the world.
