The West Vancouver School District (SD45) is one of 60 public school boards in British Columbia, providing K-12 education to students in West Vancouver, Bowen Island, and Lions Bay. While the majority of students live in the district, the organization also provides high quality, innovative education to international students and students from outside district borders. The district is the top performing public school board in the province and offers a wide range of personalized learning option in athletics, the arts, and academics.

The West Vancouver School District wants every child to develop a lifelong love of learning, to be socially responsible, and to be globally aware. So, one of the district’s strategic goals includes building community connections with community organizations that support the increasingly diverse population in West Vancouver’s schools and in the community. The West Vancouver School District is pleased to partner with the NSIIP to strengthen support for those who have made a life-changing decision to live, work, and learn on the North Shore.
