After twelve years, the former campus in Kitsilano, Westside of Vancouver, was too small for the needs of our students. After a systematic search for a good location, we bought the land in the Harbourside Park in North Vancouver. The current campus was custom designed and completed in September 2003.
The south side of the school, extending from the glass curtain wall of the cafeteria, opens to an extensive courtyard connecting to the adjacent park, the waterfront walkway and the coastal shoreline.
Students have the tree-lined courtyard, the park, and the waterfront, to muse quietly, read and discuss in groups, to chat or to just relax. All these areas are within a safe distance of supervision to ensure the safety and comfort of our students.
The new campus is completely modern, with facilities that include a multi-purpose gym, indoor swimming pool, a tennis court, a presentation theatre, music rooms, library, computer rooms, and the school ground is equipped with wireless internet capabilities.
Our on-site dormitory provides rooms with a view of the waterfront to the south and the breathtaking North Shore Mountains. Healthy multi-cultural cuisine is provided in the cafeteria which is open seven days a week and throughout the year. Students have the option of remaining on campus for vacation. Experienced supervisors oversee all academic and extracurricular schedules. For further details, please refer to our “Dormitory” link.
For students who choose our homestay option, we have families that have been carefully screened and are enthusiastic to host international students.
Public buses run between campus and the Lonsdale Quay: a Sea Bus terminal ferrying to Vancouver’s city centre every 15 minutes.
The school has successfully completed its expansion project and it’s now bigger and more modern than ever. The cafeteria has been enlarged with a 2-storey high curtain wall, and a rooftop with a garden patio connected to the third floor library. Above the swimming pool extension, there have been added new classrooms and offices as well as more dormitories to accommodate students from all over the world.
