British Columbia Canadian International School opened its doors to 27 students and their families in September 2005. Since then, we are proud to say we have doubled our student population into a community of more than 800 students and more than 100 employees, from Early Childhood Education (ECE), to Kindergarten Up to grade 12. British Columbia Canadian International School runs the BC curriculum from KG2 to grade 12. The BC curriculum has been ranked as one of the best education systems in the world. We strive not only to help our students become critical thinkers, but also to assist them in their social and emotional development, and to become the best versions of themselves. British Columbia Canadian International School works hard to hire dedicated and well-rounded staff in its many pupils. Our staff carry out their personal mission to provide individual support that meets the various needs of students, as well as providing support in and out of the classroom. British Columbia Canadian International School considers itself a small community; Faculty members create a close relationship with students, and help create an environment in which academic and personal achievement can be achieved. We implement an "open door" policy, which provides opportunities for students to connect with faculty at all times for additional support. Our Mission “The pursuit of excellence today.
