Student Travel Policy

Students under Comox Valley Schools custodianship, who live with Host or Exchange families, must follow this Student Travel Policy.  Student safety and wellbeing is Comox Valley Schools’ number one priority.  Comox Valley International Student Program (the Program) must ensure each student has a well thought out travel plan and made reasonable considerations as minor and foreigner in Canada.

Travel beyond the Comox Valley without a student’s assigned host is not permitted without Program approval.  A Student Travel Request Form must be completed by all Comox Valley International students at least:

• five (5) business days before an anticipated trip outside the Comox Valley; and
• two (2) months prior to out of country travel.

Travel approval by the Program must be received prior to travel.

Travel Considerations

Students travelling outside of the Comox Valley overnight without their host are required to have a chaperone at least twenty five (25) years old.

Students travelling outside Canada with hosts require legalized documentation.
