Our Schools

Chartered by the government of British Columbia, our schools employ government certified teachers considered to be among the best teachers in the world. We use only BC government Ministry of Education approved curriculum. All of our 66 schools, many of which are just a few years old, boast modern facilities and technology. Where English is a second language, ESL trained and certified teachers provide support to our international students. Furthermore, the high school graduation certificate, or "Dogwood Diploma", is recognized by all Canadian and US universities.
