“Our children made great progress in their personal development and we are very happy with the results”

CIC’s Total Care Education System provided exceptional support for all three of my children who studied there - from admission to graduation. The school has a strong support system for international students including academic, counseling, medical and wellness and provides parents with frequent updates. Our children made great progress in their personal development and we are very happy with the results.

“She truly benefited from the teachers’ personalized approach.”

After graduating from Columbia in 2012, my daughter has been extremely successful at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Business, receiving scholarships consecutively for two years. I fully understand that her success is due to not only her own efforts, but also CIC’s Total Care Education System®. She truly benefited from the teachers’ personalized approach. As a parent, CIC’s Total Care Education System® also gave me peace of mind, especially the residence staff who are extremely dedicated to their students.

“I would highly recommend CIC’s Total Care Education®.”

I called CIC in 2002 upon the recommendation of another parent. After speaking with a representative from the Admissions Department, I knew this would be a perfect place for Scieska to attend. Her schedule was tailored specifically to her dream of becoming a journalist. CIC was essentially a “home away from home” and I was pleased with the living accommodations, security, housing rules, meals, transportation and social environment. I would highly recommend CIC’s Total Care Education® as the best option for any young person looking to make that successful transition from high school to university.

“I am grateful for every member of Columbia.”

I am grateful every member of CIC tutors team for their efforts in Liza's upbringing. Thanks to strict discipline students learn to manage how to spend their time useful and productively. Your caring and patient staff team ensured my daughter was never alone, puzzled with difficult home task or health problem. The activities Columbia provided allowed my daughter to increase her self-confidence and develop her skills. She learned valuable lessons studying here that I am confident will help her succeed in the future. I readily offer CIC Total Care® to those parents, whose child is eager to make his best in Canadian studentship.

“I am truly grateful to Columbia’s Total Care Education System® for giving my son endless opportunities.”

The Total Care Education System® provided a safe environment for my son, Ken, to learn and live and each staff member took great care of him. The Total Care Education System® also gave him opportunities to become independent and responsible in life, allowing him to discover his greatest potential.

I am truly grateful to Columbia’s Total Care Education System® for giving my son endless opportunities. Ken has outdone our expectations and has truly become a well-rounded person after graduating from Columbia International College.

” I believe in the unique Total Care Education System®.”

Kate is my lovely first daughter. As a mother, I care for her studying and her personal growth. I always hope for the best for her as any parents in the world would. I chose CIC to be Kate’s second home because I believe in the unique Total Care Education System® which provides a stable living and learning environment for young international students. CIC developed Kate not only academically, but also socially, emotionally, and physically. CIC gave Kate the opportunity to become a young leader and also contribute to the Hamilton community. She was accepted to 5 top universities in Canada with many scholarships. I am very proud of Kate’s success. I believe that CIC truly is the big second home for Kate and many other International students.

“CIC’s  Total Care® ensured the overall well-being of my five girls during their high school careers.”

Columbia International College is unique, diverse and beautiful in a way that is so special and contributes to Canada’s multiculturalism. CIC Total Care® ensured the overall well-being of my five girls during their high school careers. Academically, their teachers and tutors pushed them to excel. They received unmatched guidance that allowed them to choose the right universities where they would flourish. I seldom had to worry since I could always learn how they were doing through a phone call to their liaison officer. I am a proud Columbia International College mom.
