 Shawnigan Lake School is a world-class, co-ed boarding school that offers advanced placement courses. Our rural setting, north of Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, provides an idyllic location for a learning community of grades 8 - 12 designed to discover and develop the confidence and talents of every student. 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 sees all of its grads offered a place at the university or college of their choice. 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.
Courses
Grades 8 - 12. Academic Programme - Shawnigan's
academic programme is 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 Programmes
- Sports and Fine Arts are a mandatory part of
the curriculum 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 Programme - 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 Programme. To date,
Shawnigan’s EDGE Leadership Programme has sent
three teams to Thailand, one to Argentina and
one to Laos.
