Vancouver welcomes all ethnicities and thrives in cultural appreciation and acceptance. This stimulates the sharing of knowledge, creativity and tradition. We carefully design our English curriculum and extracurricular activities with a theme of Celebrating Diversity.

In our Vancouver Programs, we emphasize the development of a positive global perspective among youngpeople. Students will learn that today, people of the world are more closely connected and must be kind to one another. They will experience firsthand how, in a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural city like Vancouver, people withdifferent backgrounds can live together with appreciation and kindness.
