Our Director of Admissions had a wonderful evening connecting with some of the Class of ’26 in Vancouver last week. Special thanks to Kaitlyn ‘23 for joining and making the evening even more memorable! 

We can’t wait to meet more of the Class of ‘26 in Ottawa and Montreal later this month!
Jordana ‘25 reflected on her time at Nafplio. 

“You visit the stronghold first, its old walls and dungeons perched upon a peak. You brave the tunnel discovered in the shadows of a cell, as though you yourself are a prisoner of old creeping through the quiet dark in hopes of an escape. But when you emerge no guards give chase, only the friends following behind.”

What a way to study Classical Civilizations in Grade 12!!
While in Greece and Italy for his Grade 12 Classical Civilization course, Marlowe ‘25 noticed, “St. Peter’s Basilica doesn’t just feel like you’re walking through a big church, but like you’re exploring history. We may have only spent an afternoon in the Vatican, but it was an afternoon that left an impact on many of us – and an afternoon that we will surely cherish looking back on our time at NJC.”
Imagine studying Grade 12 Classical Civilization with a week in Italy and a week in Greece? 

Kai’25 focused his reflection on his time in Capri, “Capri was about immersing yourself in the stillness and beauty around you. By the time I left, I realized that this small island had a way of making you feel like you’d discovered something more than just a destination—it felt like a secret, one that you'd carry with you long after you left.”
Congratulations Mateo ‘25 who completed the Geneva Marathon today! He is celebrating with his host family and some classmates!
Thank you to everyone who joined us at our student recruitment event this Sunday! We were so happy to meet some wonderful new families.
