Re: English Immersion Program for Kids

Dear Korean Parents, Children, and Principals,

On behalf of the Chignecto-Central Regional School Board, I would like to introduce and welcome your children to our school district.

As Director of the International Student Program, I am most pleased and excited to be a part of facilitating the visitation process for Korean children to the schools of the Chignecto-Central Regional School Board.  This venture is a first for our school board and we are looking forward to its success and growth in the future.

The Chignecto-Central Regional School Board offers programs and services in 91 schools in the Chignecto-Central Region of Nova Scotia and serves a student population of 26,174 students.  Many of our schools are in rural settings as agriculture is the main industry of our area, although some schools are located in several of the small towns spread throughout the Chignecto-Central Region.  The majority of our students are bussed to school with some walking within the confines of town limits where shorter distances are involved.  During the visitation period, we hope your children will learn something of life in our region and that our students and staff can, in turn, benefit from exposure to your culture.

The philosophy of our school board is to provide safe and caring learning environments for our students.  I trust your children will avail of the opportunities to learn and share their experiences in our schools.

Sincerely,

Paul Millman
Director, International Student Program
