High School Academic Program

Our excellent high school program (Grades 8 to 12) adopts the curriculum set out by the Ministry of Education of British Columbia.

With our commitment to offering additional hours of instruction (especially for English courses) and a strong emphasis on academic subjects, our Ministry of Education authorized program is specially designed to properly prepare students for studies at the post-secondary level. In order to obtain the British Columbia government issued Dogwood Diploma, students must fulfill the graduation requirements laid out by the Ministry of Education. This includes the successful completion of courses in core subject areas, such as, English, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies.
