Study Abroad Canada Language Institute (SACLI), in partnership with the Prince Edward Island Department of Education and Early Childhood Development, enlists and supports students who want to study in the following Prince Edward Island high schools: Charlottetown Rural High School and Colonel Gray High School (Grades 10, 11, & 12). Students in this program complete high school credit classes towards their Grade 12 graduation diploma.

 

Charlottetown Rural High School (CRHS), www.edu.pe.ca/rural/, is located in the city of Charlottetown. Known locally as “The Rural”, it is home to approximately 1100 students, 70 staff, and the Rural Raiders athletic teams. CRHS is committed to excellence in all aspects of education. CRHS strives to create a welcoming, safe, and caring environment where all students have the opportunity to reach their potential as lifelong learners.

 

Colonel Gray High School (CGHS), www.edu.pe.ca/gray/, is also located in the city of Charlottetown. Colonel Gray Senior High, or “The Gray”, as it is now affectionately known, serves primarily the students living within the City of Charlottetown and is home to 1000 students. Quality education is the primary objective at Colonel Gray Senior High School.

 

·         A small, friendly, and safe city with all the services of a provincial capital
