Why College of the North Atlantic

Campus: The St. Anthony Campus of the College of the North Atlantic is located on the tip of the Great Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland and Labrador. It serves a small population of spirited students, with 22 friendly and professional staff.

Facilities: The rural nature of the campus helps to create a family-type environment, whereby students are given all the supports they need to become successful, while enjoying student life. The St. Anthony region has the unique distinction of being home to, or in close proximity to, some of the province’s major tourism attractions including UNESCO World Heritage Sites, National and Provincial Historical sites, parks and attractions, and extensive groomed snowmobile and ski trail systems. The region also has a network of hiking trails. These trails expose the beauty of the area’s icebergs, whales and natural scenery. The region provides a natural playground for students, which inspires them to be all that they can be.

Hands-on experience: Many of College of the North Atlantic's programs offer field opportunities where students can apply what they've learned in the classroom to the community.
