Newfoundland International Student Education Program

Locations

We welcome international students to the quality educational opportunities provided by the Newfoundland International Student Education Program (NISEP) in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Newfoundland and Labrador is one of the friendliest and safest places in North America. A place where laughter is a recurring theme; a place where its people is recognized for their hospitality, warmth, and their love for music and culture. This is where you may look up to examine a high-rise building, pause to smell the roses, all without the shoving and pushing of time-starved city-walkers.

As a student in the Newfoundland International Student Education Program (NISEP), you will live in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada's newest province. It is an area internationally recognized for its hospitality and the warmth of its people, making it one of the friendliest and safest places in the world. The NISEP program offers students an opportunity to live and learn at the site where North America begins. It is a place where you can photograph herds of caribou or seabird colonies, icebergs, or whales, still unspoiled by the urbanization of North America.

Most towns on the Island of Newfoundland are near the sea, since early settlers made their living from the sea. Each small community has unique geological and geographical features. During the spring and early summer icebergs from the North visit the sheltered harbours of Trinity and Conception Bays. Although pictures can never do justice to those massive mountains of ice, each large iceberg draws many photographers on mild spring days. Notable features almost everywhere in the province are hills and cliffs, rivers, lakes, ponds, a breeze from the Atlantic Ocean, and lots and lots of space!

NISEP offers students an opportunity to live and learn at the site where North America begins -- a place where you'll find herds of caribou, seabird colonies, icebergs and whales -- still untouched and unspoiled by the urbanization of North America. With NISEP, all students will be immersed in the English Language, supported by a formally trained and certified English as a Second Language teacher. Students will enroll in a grade appropriate school, and learn alongside English-speaking students, with additional ESL classes every other weekend.

When totally immersed, students are subjected to more than books and lectures alone. They will learn to communicate in English, not merely reciting poems or prose. They will learn to express their emotions and their needs. Names of various food and games will only be a fraction of what they will learn. Phrases and expressions used by their peers, less rigid and more fitting, will become their speech. Most important of all, through immersion, they will learn to recognize similarities and differences between languages, and therefore expand their ability to other languages and knowledge.
