The CIA program costs $3500 per student, not including homestay fees. Families seeking financial assistance should fill out the form above. Scholarship and bursaries are based on funds raised each year and therefore vary.

The Cortes Island Academy Scholarship and Bursary Program prioritizes access for local (SD 72 rural/remote students without access to other school program) and balances that with need.

A full scholarship is just over 85% of fees or up to $3,000 per student. We are offering a 10% discount for each student for families with more than one student enrolled.

An intergral aspect of the CIA is our homestay program. This offering allows “off-island” and students from abroad the opportunity to have an immersive experience living on Cortes and join the Cortes community. Every year we face the challenge of having limited homestay options. Therefore we have to get creative! Each and every homestay looks a little different and we will do our best to match students with families and houses that fit them best.

Please be aware that the homestay program is organized in part by the Campbell River School District, you must register on their portal with the link above. Homestay housing costs $1025/month for full time students and $750/month for part time students (they go home on weekends). There is a homestay registration fee of $400.

Register for Homestay

After you get confirmation of a homestay placement and financial aid package we are asking families to pay a $100 deposit. This money will go towards the amount you owe for the semester. We will send you a reminder about this in the coming weeks, please keep this on your radar. E transfer to admin@cortesislandacademy.ca
