ROCKY MOUNTAIN LOCATION
The Kootenay Rockies region of British Columbia is one of the most beautiful places on earth! Kimberley is located on the warm side of the Rockies and is known for its mild, snowy winters and hot, sunny summers.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT
Kimberley is a community dedicated to tourism and internationalization. Special workshops are held throughout the year to train community members in the basics of ESL instruction to further enhance Kimberley's ability to host international students.

CLUBS, LESSONS AND ACTIVITIES
Children have access to a wide variety of after school clubs, lessons and activities in Kimberley. Choose from soccer, Boy Scouts, baseball, ice hockey, Girl Guides, highland dance, cross country skiing, music lessons, curling, ballet, cycling, boxing, golf, karate, downhill skiing, figure skating and much more. Learn to ski, learn to skate and enjoy Canadian life!

COMPETITIVE PRICES
Kimberley's cost-of-living is much lower than places like Vancouver, Banff or Toronto. As a result students can live and learn in Kimberley for less!

FRIENDLY, PROFESSIONAL STAFF
The Go English staff is part of a larger team that includes the teachers and administrators at Kimberley's three elementary schools. They all work together to make sure each participating parent and child has the best study abroad experience possible.

OFFICIAL PROGRAM CERTIFICATES
All international children attending Kimberley's public schools as part of the Go English program will be awarded Certificates of Participation or Completion (depending on the length of their package) from School District No. 6. Parents studying in Alpine English School's General English program qualify for Certificates of Achievement or Certificates of Participation depending on their progress.

SMALL PROGRAM SIZE
Go English limits program participation to ensure a true immersion experience for each international child. No more than 21* international children can participate at a time.

MOTHER MENTOR PROGRAM
This is a very important aspect of the Go English program. Local women volunteer as mentors for international mothers to help them adapt to and enjoy Canadian life. For more information, click here.

ACCOMMODATION ASSISTANCE
Go English assists all participants in finding and moving in to local accommodations. From long-term rentals in houses and apartments to shorter-term stays in hotels and motels to homestays with local families, Go English will help each participating parent and child find the place that suits them best.

GROUP EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES
Go English sponsors bi-weekly (every two weeks) events and activities for program participants. Trips to local hot springs, days at the beach, program bar-b-ques, ski lessons, skating parties and visits to local cultural and heritage sites are examples of the activities and events included in all Go English program packages.

* Go English and School District No. 6 may run a winter camp in January/February of each year that will place additional international students in Kimberley's elementary schools for a short period of time.
