International Baccalaureate Program
WVSS is a member of the International Baccalaureate (IB) program. It is one of the two public schools on the North Shore to provide the High School program (the other being Carson Graham Secondary School), thus drawing people from Squamish to Deep Cove and even downtown Vancouver to the school. It offers a variety of IB courses, such as Biology, Chemistry, English, Film, French, Geography, History, Japanese, Mandarin, Mathematics, Physics, Spanish, Theatre, and Visual Arts at higher or standard level. The standard Diploma programme course, Theory of Knowledge, is required in this program.
WVSS is the only public high school in the West Vancouver School District to offer the IBO Diploma programme; however, Mulgrave School also offers the IBO Diploma. The other three secondary schools in the district, Rockridge, Sentinel and Collingwood, a private school, offer the Advanced Placement (AP) Program.

Famous quotes containing the word program:
“The principal saloon was the Howlin’ Wilderness, an immense log cabin with a log fire always burning in the huge fireplace, where so many fights broke out that the common saying was, “We will have a man for breakfast tomorrow.””
