Located in British Columbia, only a short 45 minute flight from Vancouver and half an hour drive from the Kelowna International Airport, the city of Vernon is a stunning community nestled on the edge of Lake Okanagan in the heart of the Rocky Mountains.

Our programs are designed to meet the diverse needs of our students and to prepare them to succeed in their personal, academic, cultural, and social goals. Students will experience an authentic Canadian education through immersion in the daily life of the Canadian student.

A few highlights of what Vernon can offer students are:

1. a world class education at all levels, supported by a strong ESL program.
2. a safe, friendly, English-speaking city.
3. a leading tourist destination providing unparalleled outdoor activities year round.
4. dedicated international student services including supervised homestay, Canadian university placement advising, transition services, and academic support.

Our students have access to all the subjects in the British Columbia curriculum including all core academic subjects, online education, our soccer and hockey academies, outdoor education, and the fine arts.

To further explore the Canadian experience, students will stay in a Canadian home through our homestay program. This allows students to further explore what it means to be Canadian as they participate in the daily life of a Canadian family.

Vernon School District is the program for students seeking a genuine, quality Canadian education experience. We look forward to welcoming you to the Okanagan Valley for your studies!
