Go to child profileLaSalle College Vancouver High School opened its doors in September 2019. What sets this new high school apart is that it shares a facility with a state-of-the-art college, which offers an array of exciting applied arts programs in the Media Arts, Design, Fashion, and Culinary Arts. Located in an 80,000-square-foot building in beautiful Vancouver, LCV High School will deliver programs allowing students to complete the British Columbia Dogwood Diploma (Grade 12 Graduation) and excel in college or university.
What learning looks like now: LCV High School has continued to deliver quality virtual teaching and learning through remote delivery of course content. The faculty and staff remain committed to the quality of instruction and the safety of our students. While we are actively planning a Stage 1 (Full In-class Instruction) return for September 2020, we will complete our academic school year remotely. Students have responded positively to our synchronous model of instruction that provides vital touchpoints of face-to-face daily instruction. We thank our community of families, educators, and students who have kept a clear focus on the future, as we embrace the powerful tools of technology to help guide us through these challenging and inspirational times.
Small class sizes, world-class instruction, and a close-knit community combine with a wealth of resources to make LaSalle one-of-a-kind within the both the province and the country. Sharing a campus with LaSalle College means that it shares all the spaces and the facilities, though, perhaps more importantly, it shares a sense of possibility and expertise. Those who enroll here are intending to move on to post-secondary education, though when they arrive, in a sense they already have—the culture of the high school reflects that of the college campus. Students are offered a unique view of post-secondary life, though also have a front row seat on the wealth of programs that they will find there, from the core curriculum to cuisine, geography to graphic design. They also meet the people that populate those spaces, namely professionals who are at the top of their industry. It’s a uniquely energising experience, helping students envision their future in education by, in a very real sense, actively participating in it.
