As part of our Global Education programming, student cohorts are now receiving curated reading lists to help them prepare for their travel experiences. These books introduce students to the history, geography, cultures, and stories of the places they will explore, helping to spark curiosity and deepen learning before departure.
This year, our Prep School Yukon cohort explored a collection of engaging titles focused on the Yukon, northern Canada, exploration, Indigenous perspectives, and the Klondike Gold Rush. Featured books included The Call of the Wild by Jack London, Explore the Yukon by James Bow, Gold Rush Fever by Barbara Greenwood, Gold Rush: The Untold Story of the First Nations Woman Who Started the Klondike Gold Rush by Flora Delargy, and Vanished Beyond the Map by renowned Canadian explorer Adam Shoalts. Together, these books provided students with a rich introduction to the landscapes, histories, and stories that have shaped their Yukon experience.
As summer begins, we invite the entire Bayview Glen community to join the adventure. Whether you are looking for an engaging family read, a story of exploration and resilience, or a deeper understanding of Canada’s North, these titles make excellent additions to any summer reading list. Pick up a book, discover a new perspective, and let reading be the first step in your next great journey.
