Shawnigan Lake School:Shawnigan Lake School is a world-class, co-ed boarding school that offers advanced placement courses. Our rural setting, north of Victoria, BC, Canada provides an idyllic location for a learning community of grades 8 - 12. The setting is magnificent – 300 acres in a safe, clean, rural environment that boasts sweeping lawns, gorgeous gardens and excellent facilities.
Shawnigan delivers a challenging university-preparatory program that is designed to discover and develop the confidence and talents of each student. Of particular interest is the number of our grads accepted at top universities and colleges all over North America, such as Harvard, Cambridge, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, McGill, Queen's and the University of Toronto.
Programs:
Grades 8 - 12. Academic Program - Shawnigan's academic programis university preparatory; the curriculum meets and exceeds British Columbia Ministry of Education standards. Both Honours and Advanced Placement courses are available. We have a highly qualified and dedicated teaching staff, guaranteeing a caring and productive teaching environment.
Extra Curricular Sports and Fine Arts Program - Sports and Fine Arts are a mandatory part of the cu
rriculum at Shawnigan. Rugby and Rowing are a focus for boys and girls. Volleyball, field hockey, cross country, basketball, tennis, squash, soccer, swimming, and sailing are some of the other sports pursued. Shawnigan also has an active outdoor pursuits programme, which takes advantage of our natural surroundings through hiking, kayaking and camping. Shawnigan recognizes that students have different abilities, and we therefore offer various levels of competition.
We also believe that Fine Arts help to develop lifelong skills for students in drama, art, photography, sculpture, woodworking, dance, music, pottery, voice and community outreach, among others. One Fine Art, the Environment Club, has recently been augmented through the addition of our own salmon hatchery and on-site recycling and composting facilities.
EDGE Leadership Program - EDGE stands for: Engagement of mind, body and spirit; Development of individuals; Gratitude that grows from awareness; and Experience, the most powerful teacher. This programme began as a Tsunami Re-building trip in the wake of the 2004 Tsunami in Thailand. Out of this humanitarian outreach endeavour grew what is known today at Shawnigan as the EDGE Leadership Program. To date, Shawnigan’s EDGE Leadership Program has sent three teams to Thailand, one to Argentina and one to Laos.
