Jump Start! 2019

August 26 –August 30

Required for all new international students

The Aberdeen Hall Jump Start! 2019 Programme offers a unique opportunity for new students to begin their transition to life at Aberdeen Hall school and in the Kelowna community.

During the 5-day immersion programme, students are introduced to academic reading, writing, grammar and oral presentation strategies. By familiarizing themselves with these concepts, students will feel more confident upon beginning classes at the start of the school year. The week-long programme also includes visits to local attractions including UBC's Okanagan campus, the Kelowna downtown cultural district, the Kelowna Farmers' and Crafters' Market.

Fee: $900.00 includes: airport pick-up, homestay accommodation and meals, activity & entrance fees, city transportation, class materials. (Outings subject to change).

We are pleased to arrange a tour of Aberdeen Hall for accompanying family members. Tours can be arranged during the week of August 26th – 30st.

My 2 children just love attending school! I knew that Aberdeen Hall would be different, but I had no idea it would have such a positive impact on my children. They really enjoy the enriched academics, music, arts, stunning new campus – and many new friendships. It feels great to see my children achieving so much while they build their confidence and real world knowledge (Mother, Junior School)

If you care about your children’s education; this is the school for you. From top notch educators, to a wide variety of unique offerings, and individual classroom attention, your child is guaranteed excellent opportunities, self-discovery, and the best preparation for their future (Father, Senior School)

As a mom, I want the best for my kids – and Aberdeen Hall Preparatory School delivers. Not only is it a great place for our kids, but they’ve also been so welcoming to our family, and we feel like part of the school community. Find out for yourself, stop by for a tour and see the amazing campus! We all want the best for our kids; Aberdeen Hall offers that and so much more (Mother of 3 Aberdeen Students)

My wife and I had some misconceptions about what private school would be like. After a tour of the campus and meeting some teachers and students, we were amazed! Aberdeen Hall is a fantastic place. Our kids moved over from public school and we have seen a really positive change in their academic knowledge and skills. Their confidence has risen too and they now have newfound ability to express themselves. I think the teachers and small class sizes make a big difference. We couldn’t be happier. (Father of 2 Aberdeen Students)
