High School

I am a Canadian student from right here in Nanaimo. I have attended The High School at Vancouver Island University since September 2014, and will be graduating June of 2017. I received my conditional acceptance letter to VIU in December 2015 to attend the Bachelor of Business Administration program in September 2017.

The teachers at this school are absolutely amazing. They truly care about your learning outcomes and helping you achieve your personal and academic objectives. More importantly, they teach you how to learn, not just to get good marks on tests. The principal gave me the opportunity to take a university course. That was wonderful! It inspired a love for learning regarding what I am genuinely passionate about. This school is designed to prepare its students for university, which it does an excellent job of.

The student body is fascinating. Because it is so diverse, I have met many people and been exposed to many different cultures from all around the world. This has broadened my perspectives and taught me a manifold of things that I would never have learned had I chosen to attend another school. And I have made some marvelous friends too.

I have come up against several challenges during my last three years. The principal and the teachers have all worked together to help me surmount the obstacles and reach my scholarly goals for which I am incredibly thankful. This school has been an exceptionally important step on my stairway to success. The people I have met, and the memories I have made here will have a special place in my heart forever.
