Dormitory
The on-campus dormitory allows students to find a home away from home as they adapt to life in a new country. The dorms are providing a context for students to grow in independence and develop emotional intelligence skills that prepare them for life after high school.
Each dorm room has two beds, two closets, and two desks. There is a common recreation space, TV lounge, and dining hall in the dorm builidng.
Host Families
During holidays or closed-dorm weekends international students are asked to stay with host families. These families welcome students into their homes, providing an environment of support and safety.
Where a student stays during times when the dorm is closed is determined by the parents/guardians of the students, in collaboration with RJC. The school will provide reasonable support in finding a suitable host family for the student.
“RJC is a very interesting and fun school compared to other schools that I’ve attended in Hong Kong. The teachers and staff are very nice and helpful, and the students are also very friendly and outgoing. I find it easy to make friends here, and by living and studying with my friends, my English has improved significantly. RJC always makes me feel at home. I am glad I chose RJC as my high school rather than getting lost in big schools in Toronto or Vancouver”
– Leo Pang, RJC student
