WELCOME TO ST. JOHN'S ACADEMY

Discover a school where the natural world inspires academic and personal growth

​

Located on beautiful Vancouver Island, our campus rests on the pristine shores of Shawnigan Lake at the base of Baldy Mountain. St. John’s Academy Shawnigan Lake offers an inspiring environment where education is deeply connected to nature.

​

We are a small school with a big heart — a close-knit, nurturing community where students are truly known and supported. Our passionate, globally experienced educators bring the world into the classroom and create meaningful learning experiences that ignite curiosity and confidence.

​

Students in Grades 4–12 benefit from a world-class academic program. We proudly offer the British Columbia Dogwood Diploma, as well as the full continuum of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Programme: the Middle Years Programme (MYP) in Grades 6–10 and the Diploma Programme (DP) in Grades 11–12. Whether exploring science through the forest, developing leadership skills on the water, or reflecting quietly by the lake, nature is woven into every aspect of learning and life on campus.

​

At St. John’s Academy Shawnigan Lake, we are committed to growing curious minds, compassionate hearts, and courageous global citizens — all within one of Canada’s most breathtaking learning environments.
