Greater Victoria School District

Victoria (350.000 Einwohner*innen) ist die Hauptstadt der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia und liegt am Südzipfel von Vancouver Island. Östlich liegt die Straße von Georgia mit Hunderten von Inseln, die unter dem Namen Gulf Islands bekannt sind.

Das milde Klima sowie die endlosen Sandstrände und kleinen Fischerdörfer bieten beinahe unzählige Möglichkeiten für Freizeitaktivitäten an der frischen Luft: Whale Watching, Camping, Kanufahren oder Rudern, Wandern, Klettern sowie Wintersport aller Art. Die Surfstände von Tofino, am Rande des Pacific Rim National Parks, sind weltbekannt. Mit dem Mount Washington weiter nördlich gibt es auch ein Skigebiet. Victoria hat zudem zahlreiche Musik- und Kulturfestivals.

In und um Victoria kooperieren wir mit drei Schulbezirken. Der Greater Victoria School District deckt mit sieben Secondary Schools den südlichen Teil der Stadt ab. Victoria ist ideal für Teilnehmer*innen, die in einer Stadt, jedoch nicht in der Metropole Vancouver wohnen und zugleich die kanadische Natur erleben möchten. Die Kursauswahl ist sehr groß: Besonders gute akademische Programme wie Advanced Placement- oder Honours-Kurse, die etwa dem Leistungskursniveau entsprechen, werden ergänzt von Wahlfächern wie Journalismus, Wirtschaft, Kunst, Theater, Musik, Tanz und "French Immersion". Alle Schulen liegen in schönen Gegenden nur unweit von der Innenstadt Victorias entfernt.
