Head's Welcome

Welcome to St. John’s Academy Shawnigan Lake!

​

Thanks for checking out our school. This is a place where students are known, challenged, and supported every day.

​

We’re an independent IB World School for Grades 4–12, based on Vancouver Island between the forest, the lake, and Mt. Baldy. We offer the MYP and DP to local and international students who are curious, capable, and ready to grow.

​

Learning here is active and connected. We take students outside. We give them real work to do. We ask them to think for themselves and care about others. We want them to leave here ready to shape their own future and contribute to something bigger.

​

What makes this school special is the people. The staff, students, and families are committed, honest, and fully engaged. We show up. We work together. We take responsibility for the kind of community we’re building.

​

It's impossible to give you a full sense of our school on a screen, so we invite you to visit us in person to learn what makes us special.
