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:
“Who will join in the march to the Rocky Mountains with me, a sort of high-pressure-double-cylinder-go-it-ahead-forty-wildcats- tearin’ sort of a feller?... Git out of this warming-pan, ye holly-hocks, and go out to the West where you may be seen.”
—Administration in the State of Miss, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
