Columbia International College

The newest members of the school family received a warm welcome from Columbia’s University Partners® during Orientation Week. It is not everyday that one receives a personal welcome video from a university president, let alone three. In the run up to Fall Orientation Week, school staff filmed several university officials to create a series of unique videos.

Lights, Camera, Action

The University of Waterloo as well as York and McMaster Universities opened their doors to our film crews in the weeks leading up to Orientation. The videos, which featured university officials, were shot on-location at the world-renowned universities.

During the filming each University President extended a warm welcome to students and parents, encouraged campus visits and talked about their institutions strong relationships with Columbia.

Asking the Important Questions

Since 1979, under our unique Total Care Education System®, we at Columbia have prepared 100% of our graduates to achieve their dreams of gaining admission to the world’s top universities. Not only do we pride ourselves in nurturing students towards academic excellence, we also ensure that students have everything they need to make informed decisions about their future.

In order to help students make these decisions, university officials were interviewed and offered unique insight. Ms. Carrie of the University Placement Office conducted the interviews. The university officials interviewed included:

In these video interviews, the officials answered common questions and addressed areas of particular interest to the international students at Columbia.

Columbia’s reputation for academic excellence has helped us form strong relationships with universities worldwide. We are committed to continuing in this tradition and providing students with a smooth transition to university studies.
