Admissions Criteria

We are looking for students who want to be challenged and who demonstrate the potential to meet those challenges. A strong applicant will also demonstrate that they understand what ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ is about and that they would really like to be a part of this unique school and community. As a STEM school, we are looking for students with an interest in STEM, but this does not have to be your only interest! On the contrary, we welcome students with a broad range of interests; a diverse student body will enrich the experience for everyone. You will find that ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ innovates, and employs amazing teachers, in all subject areas.

FAQs

  • No! Applicants should be at grade level in math and science; working above grade level is welcome but not required. What is important is that you enjoy, and are curious about, science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Wherever you are starting, ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ will help you grow.

  • We do not require or expect extra preparation beyond standard B.C. elementary school math. If you would nonetheless like to seek extra inspiration, consider ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½'s Math Club program for Grades 5-7 on our Camps & Workshops page. We are also able to recommend two extracurricular math preparation programs: (Kindergarten and up) and (Grade 5 and up).

  • ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½â€™s program involves accelerated Math and Science. For students entering Grade 9-12 directly, we will work with you individually to make a plan so that your math and science education aligns well with the ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ academic trajectory. This may involve preparation or completing courses during the summer before you start.

  • Though most of our electives focus on STEM areas, we support the pursuit of non-STEM electives and can recommend programs to pursue other elective courses outside of ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½. For example, the Vancouver Learning Network (VLN) offers courses like Law Studies 12 online.

  • Currently, there is no application fee.

  • No, ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ does not have a mandatory school uniform. However, we do have optional ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½-branded clothes that you are welcome to purchase and wear to school or outside of school!
