The Guarasci Exchange Program invites Filipino students to a unique educational opportunity that Canada can offer.

Licensed and registered in the province of Ontario, Canada, the Guarasci Exchange Program ensures all its enrolled students "a home away from home" as it provides a supportive program from catholic and non-sectarian schools that include homestay accommodations, medical coverage, ground transportation via airport upon arrival/ departure, transcript provided upon high school completion/university ESL completion, ESL certificate provided upon completion of Summer program, and many others.

The programs consist of the Summer Group Programs (ages 10- 17); Fall: High School programs; University IELP (International English as Second Language Program); and ESL Language.

The exchange program’s strongest feature lies in its provision for 24 hour supervision and monitoring of all education programs to ensure students’ needs are being met and goals achieved. Quality parental care is also assured as a screening process is undergone to find the right match of each student to his/her foster parents. Students are encouraged to reside with a Canadian home stay family for them to fully experience a multicultural environment.
