Who Are We?

The Lambton Kent District School Board (LKDSB) is dedicated to providing quality programs for students all over the world in a welcoming and safe learning environment. With an emphasis on our strong personal approach, our traditionally smaller class sizes will enhance learning opportunities, integration, and growth.

At LKDSB, we see the value that international students bring to our classrooms, our homes and our communities by broadening the views of our teachers and students. Students that study with us will receive a top education, exceptional academic and program supports, and a foundation that will set them on a path to success in post-secondary education in the future. 

Small Classes and English Immersion Environment  
Our average class sizes are about 25 students, so we ensure that every special need of every student could be met appropriately. We have 64 schools in total in our school board, of which we have 12 high schools (four (4) of which offer ESL support). All our schools are excited to welcome students into their community and so reaching out to other schools is a possibility. We can assure you that your students will be fully immersed in an English environment no matter what school they are placed at. The ratio of international to Canadian students in our schools is very low, so we provide an opportunity for a “true” Canadian experience.​

Quality Education and ESL Support
We will provide each of your students with a top quality educational program, along with full ESL (English as a Second Language) support as necessary. Students will be welcomed into their homes, schools and community as they learn the Canadian customs and acquire necessary English skills needed for academic success.  

Caring Homestays
International students will experience the unconditional support of our program staff and the genuine hospitality of Canadian home stay families. Our caring staff will help guide students in their academic program, introduce them to local students, and encourage them to join after-school activities. Our team will also assist students with adjusting to life in a new country and ensure parents are informed of their progress on a regular basis.
