The Greater Victoria School District’s Victoria International High School Programs (VIHSP) meet the highest standards of academic rigour and provide invaluable life skills to further a student’s chances for success.
University and Government Accredited Teachers
Our teachers are highly trained, government-certified professionals. Teaching faculty has completed university-level training in education, holding bachelor’s and/or master’s degrees in their particular subject area.
A Balanced Approach to Learning
The Academic High School Program instills a balanced and positive outlook in young minds. Students are encouraged to become active and full members of their school and neighbourhood communities through athletics, cultural activities, volunteering and other non-academic pursuits.
Flexibility to Meet Individual Needs
Each of our District’s government-certified schools has its own unique character and provides a wide range of course options. The low ratio of international to Canadian students (3% or less), encourages our international students to interact meaningfully with their Canadian classmates, facilitating a rich cultural exchange.
