About the Secondary School International Program

'Senior Years' in Manitoba is considered Grades 9 to 12. PTSD has 4 schools that accept international students at this level. All 4 schools are similar in their course offerings but each one does have unique opportunities and areas where they specialize and excel.

Secondary School Highlights

PTSD schools are located in the university district of the City of Winnipeg, thereby creating a very strong academic environment. All 4 high schools offer AP Programs. They also offer a variety of language and fine arts programs. All students accepted into the high school program receive a conditional letter of acceptance from the University of Manitoba. This helps to create a seamless transition between high school and university in the City of Winnipeg. Students are welcome to come for a full year (= 2 semesters), one semester or for a short-term cultural experience.
