It was once an unwelcome place for youth prisoners, but for 21 kids from half a world away, the old Lakeview facility is a chance at a bright future.
More accurately it is Edaus School, a place for Korean children to live and study in an English-speaking environment.
The students, who are in Grade 4,5,6 and 9, attend Campbell River schools run by School District 72 during the day and study English with on-site teachers back at Edaus in the afternoon.
