INTERNATIONAL STUDENT PROGAM

"WE LOVE CAPE BRETON"

Munro Academy students love living and learning on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia! Known globally for its forested beauty, Cape Breton Island has received accolades as the top island destination in North America (Travel and Leisure Magazine’s “2011 World’s Best Awards”). Munro Academy is located on a beautiful wooded 4 acre campus only minutes from the city of Sydney at the heart of the Cape Breton Regional Municipality (CBRM). As the intellectual and industrial hub of Cape Breton, the CBRM is home to the Sydney Airport, Cape Breton University, the municipal government and a vibrant international tourism industry. Students enjoy many activities locally including swimming, golfing, surfing, ice- hockey, downhill and cross-country skiing, camping, canoeing and hiking.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Munro Academy students are involved in leadership development. They often lead by example - putting into practise the leadership skills they are taught in the classroom, through activities and in their daily interactions with their peers. Cape Breton University has partnered with Munro Academy to offer a Munro Academy - Cape Breton University World Changer Speakers Series that focuses on global impact areas relating to the environment, social justice issues, innovative technology, and local/global community collaboration. Munro Academy students exercise important leadership responsibilities in planning and making this speaker series available to a potential audience of 4,000 High School students in the Cape Breton area. ​
