Editorial review summary
Parent and student reviews frequently praise the school's modern, university-style campus and its integration of technology (projectors in every room, laptop-friendly environment). The 'Kodiak' spirit in athletics is a highlight. However, a recurring theme in online discussions is the social atmosphere; some students describe it as 'cliquey' or socially competitive, with distinct groups. The location is considered beautiful but can be difficult to access without a car, leading to traffic congestion during drop-off times. The lack of a French Immersion program is noted by parents seeking bilingual education.
Common positives
- Modern, LEED Silver certified facility with advanced technology integration
- Strong Advanced Placement (AP) program offering university credits
- High academic ranking (Top 15% in BC)
- Beautiful location surrounded by nature and trails
- Comprehensive athletics program (Kodiaks)
Common concerns
- Does not offer a French Immersion program (unlike Dr. Charles Best)
- Social environment can be perceived as cliquey or competitive
- Traffic and parking congestion due to hillside location
- Large student population may feel impersonal to some
