KINDERGARTEN TO GRADE 12

British Columbia is a safe place to live and study.

We have a world-class educational system for international and offshore students from kindergarten to Grade 12. British Columbia students were in the top range in a worldwide International Student Assessment of 15-year-olds' abilities in science, math, and reading.

Kindergarten to Grade 12 International programs include:

• Long-term integration into the regular Canadian classroom, where the student works toward a British Columbia High School Certificate of Graduation. The certificate is recognized in Canada, the U.S., and around the world as verification that the student has completed high school, speaks English at a high level, and can apply to universities in any country as a Canadian high school graduate.
• Short-term education programs.
• Summer English as a second language training.
• Homestay programs.
• Special outdoor and arts education programs.
• Student Exchange Programs.
