Academics

Pursuing excellence in all our endeavours

Academic Excellence

One of the Essential Elements of an Edmund Rice Christian Brother Education is to pursue excellence in all our endeavours. At Vancouver College, our faculty work closely with our students and demand that they commit to excellence in their academic pursuits. We celebrate each student who works to achieve his full potential. We recognize individuals who achieve an exceptional level and hold them as models for the school community.
