  • The Second World War and the Holocaust

    Munich-Dachau, Germany
    Munich, founded in medieval times, played a key role in both World Wars. Our students 
    experience a sobering visit to Dachau and learn about the rise and fall of Nazism. Munich was also home to the White Rose student resistance movement (1942-1943). Students gain a profound understanding of this city, the third largest in modern Germany.
    OR
    Kraków-Auschwitz, Poland (Cancelled for the 2020-21 academic year)
    Kraków dates back to the 7th Century and has traditionally been one of the leading centres of Polish academic, cultural, and artistic life. After the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany at the start of the second World War, the city’s Jewish population was moved into a walled zone known as the Kraków Ghetto, from which they were sent to extermination camps such as Auschwitz and the concentration camp at PΠaszów. Students visit Auschwitz and learn about this sobering epoque in history.

  • Florence

    A centre of medieval European trade and finance, and one of the wealthiest cities of the time, Florence is considered the birthplace of the Renaissance. NJC students tour the main sites of this ancient metropolis, viewing Michelangelo’s sculpture of David and Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus along the way.

  • Family Ski Weekend in Zermatt

    Zermatt Ski Week – the great NJC annual tradition! For over 25 years, during the last week of January, in between the first and second semesters, NJC students travel to Zermatt to enjoy a week of skiing in the Swiss Alps. Families are welcome and encouraged to join us for this unforgettable week. Experience a café au lait or a hot chocolate on a sunny ski chalet patio with the breathtaking Matterhorn as your backdrop. Parents and siblings from Canada and abroad are always looking forward to this amazing getaway filled with friends, families and lots of fresh powder! 

  • Model United Nations

    Model United Nations occurs once each semester. These conferences involve students from local and international schools from around the world who spend four days participating in a mock session of the United Nations. A limited number of NJC students are chosen each semester to participate, and they are assigned countries to research and then represent at the conference. Visiting speakers, including local politicians and diplomats, address the students on the real problems facing international government. Normally NJC attends a Model UN conference in Berlin, Munich or Leiden in the Fall semester and in St. Petersburg in the Spring.
