About Our International Programs

At Regent Christian Academy, our International Programs exist for a purpose far greater than welcoming students to Canada. We believe God has entrusted us with the opportunity to reach the nations by serving international students and families with excellence, integrity, and the love of Jesus Christ. Every interaction is an opportunity to extend Christian hospitality, build meaningful relationships, and create an environment where students feel welcomed, valued, supported, and at home.

The Administrative Coordinator – International Programs is more than an administrative role. It is a ministry of service. As one of the first people our international families will meet, this individual helps shape their experience from the very beginning. We are seeking someone who embraces our mission, demonstrates Christ's love through kindness, compassion, and excellence, and has a genuine desire to be a light to students and families from around the world while faithfully supporting the mission of Regent Christian Academy.
