SD43 is proud to announce a groundbreaking partnership with Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU), offering international high school students a seamless transition to post-secondary education. This new “memorandum of agreement" allows students to continue their education at the university level by simply extending their valid study permits, eliminating the need for re-application.

The collaboration between SD43 and KPU not only streamlines the educational path for international students but also reinforces SD43's commitment to fostering student success and providing high-quality education.

In addition to the agreement, KPU is also offering a scholarship of $5,000 to one SD43 international high school student for each fall intake.

Shawn Silverstone, SD43's Director of International Marketing and Recruitment shares, “Our goal is to provide as many opportunities as possible for our students to achieve their academic and career aspirations."

“The process really involved detailed discussions and planning to ensure that the agreement met the needs of our international students and provide them with a comprehensive and seamless transition to post-secondary education."
