International student enrolment rebounding on North Shore

International student enrolment rebounding on North Shore

After taking a big hit in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, international student programs are gradually rebounding in North Shore schools.

Numbers of international students enrolled in West Vancouver are up 40 per cent this year, compared to last year, says Michael Frankowski, director of international education for the West Vancouver School District.

This year, 454 international students are enrolled in West Vancouver schools, up from 301 students last year. Prior to the pandemic, the West Vancouver would typically host about 525 international students.
