Inside King's-Edgehill School

There is nothing more exciting to a Senior Student then visiting and touring a university campus. It’s a student’s firsthand view of what university life is like, and get an opportunity to get information, ask questions and decide if that university if a good fit for their future aspirations. A campus visit allows a student to experience the people, the learning environment as well as see the dorms and walk around campus. 

We concluded our week with a wonderful variety show before writing the final test and then heading off to Oak Island to board the Bluenose II.

We celebrated a few birthdays this week. Emilio, Victor and Cindy all had happy birthdays during the camp. Good thing we love cake.

The students have been making friends, studying hard and visiting a variety of Nova Scotia’s attractions. We enjoyed an educational walking tour of Oak Island, had a  shopping trip at Mic Mac Mall, went swimming and fishing at Aylesford Lake, and raced around the track at the Windsor Playland. The TOEFL Junior Assessment has been completed and results should be in soon. Students will perform in a variety show this afternoon and classes will conclude tomorrow. We are heading back to Oak Island for a few days and will have the pleasure of sailing on the Bluenose II, ocean kayaking off Lunenburg and touring the Ovens Provincial Park.   

 A little golf and visiting a Canadian Favourite, Tim Hortons, sounds like a good day in Nova Scotia.

Every evening students get together after classes and excursions to burn off some energy on the basketball court or on the soccer field. Tonight we will have a bonfire.

The camp has been running for almost a week and we have enjoyed a variety of activities. We have gone bowling, tried zip lining at Ontree, toured Halifax on the Harbour Hopper, visited the Citadel, and had a tour of Haliburton House. The students have completed the math assessment and the speaking and writing components of the English assessment. Classes in the morning have helped the students warm up their writing, listening, public speaking, reading comprehension, and science lab skills.

Hello everyone and welcome to the King's-Edgehill English as a Second Language Summer School 2017 session. Students and families arrived on Saturday, Aug 19th. It was a chilly, rainy day; however, that did not dampen the excitement of the opening day of our camp. Many enthusiastic KES student volunteers and teachers were here to welcome the new families, help them settle into their rooms, and to start new friendships. We had campus tours, games in the gym, a parent reception at the Headmaster's home, and had a good time bowling in the evening. Welcome, everyone - we are looking forward to a great year together!
