OUR PROGRAM
St. John’s Academy Shawnigan Lake uses the International Baccalaureate model of teaching to lay an academic foundation for all our students so that regardless of their career ambitions they have the knowledge and the skill set to succeed in life.
LANGUAGE SUPPORT
Our school is an immersive learning community where Canadian and international students learn together. Often when students first arrive they need additional language support and we have the staff and resources in place to make that happen.
A Learning Community
School culture is important to us. More than simple developing scholars and students, we’re developing the next generation of leaders. We aspire to create a community that is accepting, compassionate and helps bring out the best in the students entrusted to our care.
Part of that culture is having milestone years to allow students to more deeply engage in their own personal research projects.
