The pursuit of Academic excellence is a fundamental aim of the School. Students are expected, therefore, to reach levels of achievement that reflect their best in terms of ability, attitude, and effort. To support these goals, class sizes are relatively small, and in subject areas where it is advantageous to do so, students are grouped according to ability. While addressing prescribed BC provincial learning outcomes, our academic curricula in all subjects and at all grades reflect our mission as a university preparatory school. Courses are developed and student programmes are shaped to prepare our graduates successfully for post-secondary education.
