The traditional academic program at Cathedral school enriches the BC Curriculum and can be described as moving through three stages with literacy and numeracy at the heart of our focus. In our Primary School, there is an intention to foster individual child development through the use of different mediums and through imagination and playbased learning, where students actively explore, experiment and learn through hands-on activities. 

​

In our Intermediate School, our program shifts to an inquiry-based approach to learning where students actively build knowledge through investigation, case scenarios, and problem solving.

​

In our Middle School, learning is project-based and inquiry-based, where students actively engage, and aim to solve complex, real-world problems and challenges. Our focus here is high school readiness and the development of well-rounded, critical thinkers, and global citizens.

​

Our classroom learning meets the Core Competencies set out by the BC Ministry of Education, while Indigenous cultures and perspectives are embedded throughout. Within our program, we work towards creating interdisciplinary learning opportunities within flexible learning environments.

​

Adding value to our Academic Program we offer specialty instruction in the Fine Arts and Athletics, along with a variety of co-curricular options and service initiatives.
