Counselling
Our counsellors are as diverse as our students. English, Russian, Spanish, Korean, Chinese, Japanese and Farsi are some of the languages amongst them that they are fluent in. They can effectively communicate with parents and support students through the many life transitions they face as they grow into adults.

Health Services
Just a few steps from campus, a variety of health services are available, such as walk-in clinics, dentists, pharmacies, and physiotherapists. North Vancouver’s Lions Gate Hospital (LGH) is less than 15 minutes away from Bodwell. LGH’s doctors are world class and it is one of five neurosurgery centres in B.C. Bodwell’s private insurance covers all these services for arriving international students for 3 months, after which they are automatically enrolled in the BC Medical Services Plan (MSP) which incurs a small monthly fee.
Become a Host Family
Becoming a host family has many benefits and not all of them are financial. Hosting a student means you are committed to provide a comfortable, safe, living environment for a member of the Bodwell student body. Students range in age from 12 to 20 years old. We hope through rewarding interactions with your host student, they can learn about the Canadian way of life, as you will learn more about your student’s culture and personality.

Grad Details
Having greater self-sufficiency is something Bodwell strives to instill upon each of its students. We help them do so by facilitating connections from within the Bodwell boarding community. As life skills are developed from within the community, students will have a choice after a period of time to pursue one of two distinct paths for their Bodwell student careers.
