Shawnigan Lake School

http://www.shawnigan.ca

Since 1916 Shawnigan Lake School has provided an education that leads to the development of the entire person: physical, artistic, social, moral, spiritual and intellectual. In Canada’s largest pure boarding school, Shawnigan students are provided with exciting challenges seven days a week in a safe and secure rural setting. Nestled on the shores of picturesque Shawnigan Lake, on 300 wooded acres, the school has the most spectacular campus one could ever hope to see. With the addition of our new dining hall, as traditionally impressive a building as you will find, we offer our students an unparalleled family dining experience, paying special attention to healthy dietary choices, manners and deportment. Small classes, outstanding facilities, and committed teachers make Shawnigan the complete educational choice. As a university preparatory school, we offer students a wide range of provincial and Advanced Placement courses and all of our young men and women are expected to take a full part in our nationally recognized athletics and arts programmes. A visit to our spectacular campus will convince you that Shawnigan is the place where dreams come true.
