Our Academic Foundation

We offer a full range of core curriculum courses, mathematics, English, high school sciences, and social studies. In addition to the core subjects, we offer many of the applied design skills & technology classes to ensure compliance with British Columbia's Ministry of Education. Our small class sizes allow our teachers to connect with the students and provide a more customized approach to successful English learning. In order to achieve the requirements for a Canadian education credential, our teachers and support staff provide accessibility for additional assistance.
