Ashbury College is one of the country's rating boarding schools. Training here is based on a combination of classical pedagogical techniques and innovations. The educational institution determines the education of erudite, intellectually developed children with an active life position. Ashbury College is proud of its graduates. For more than a century of the history of the educational institution, the children gained academic knowledge within its walls, who later became famous actors, businessmen, and politicians. John Turner, former Canadian Prime Minister, also studied here.
The traditional English-language boarding school is quite modern. Today, attention is paid not only to the intellectual development of children, but also to the formation of special skills, without which life in the 21st century is not possible. Children in Ashbury College are taught to think critically, analyze the situation, constructively resolve conflicts. Graduates of the boarding school are independent individuals, strong, capable of defending their own interests, moving towards the goal, if necessary, finding compromises.
The important components of school teaching are international, social activities. In the language school for students organized educational trips, in their framework, studying the national, cultural characteristics of the peoples of different countries. In the campus, too, there is no time for children to be bored. Here there are more than 3 dozens of different clubs, from discussion to robotics.
Academic training is highly effective. This is evidenced by a 100% enrollment of graduates of the boarding school in prestigious universities in Canada and the United States.

If you are looking for a school with a professional team in cross-country skiing or access to cross-country skiing training, then Ashbury College is by far the best! We are a step away from Gatineau Park, which has many well-groomed and illuminated trails for training. We have a team that competes at the highest level and a team that deals with skiing as a holiday.
My daughter has been studying in Canada for several years now, she is completing the high school program and is preparing for the university (either in Canada or the US, and there and there have found good options).
Why did you choose Canada? Because it is a beautiful, developed, civilized and beautiful country. Not as expensive as studying in the US or in England, and at the same time quality is not worse - many prestigious schools whose diploma is highly respected. Far, yes, I often do not visit my daughter, but we will definitely go to the graduation.
Why Ashbury College ? As she said, the school is prestigious, one of the best in the country. Plus they teach two languages (English + French), which is convenient for the future. They have a program for high school students IB (and so called - international baccalaureate): it's something like a unified international course of preparation for the university. Having passed IB, you can go to any country and any university at all, and you will be accepted - there will be no need to translate any certificates, count points and confirm academic performance, etc., which of course is most convenient. Well, there is a school in Ottawa, one of the largest and most developed cities in the country: we somehow did not aspire to the countryside (although I know that many in the same England like schools far away, so that the campus is bigger and the city does not distract) and considered schools in good big cities. Cities are a civilization, so let the child immediately get used to the peculiarities of the country - and in the big cities it is most vividly expressed.
Why Smas? Polite and competent managers (we were led by Egor), there is no commission for enrollment, many employees themselves studied / study abroad, prices are not above the average + many useful additional functions (such as translation of documents). We liked it somehow from the first visit, a couple more agencies were visited for pro forma. and returned to Smaps. We are satisfied with the quality of the work done and we can advise the company to others. Moreover, in such a complex, expensive and long-running business - sending a child for a long time abroad to study - it's not a joke - it's always nice to have professional help, qualified not to worry about trifles.
