West Vancouver Secondary School is home to the secondary IB Programme for West Vancouver Schools, accepting students from across our district. We welcome students to apply for our:
-Pre-Diploma Programme
-IB Course Programme
-IB Diploma Programme
The Admissions process works slightly differently depending on which programme a student is applying to and whether they are applying from inside the school, from another West Vancouver school, or from another high school, city, or country.
The Fall 2024 Admissions process is now closed.
The Fall 2025 IB admission deadline is Jan. 31, 2025. Interested students and parents are invited to join us at our IB Information Night, Monday Jan. 20, 2025, at 7 p.m. at the Kay Meek Theatre to learn more about our IB Programme.
We are also offering two Student Info Sessions during school hours. Students can join IB Coordinator Ms.Colhoun in the cafeteria during FIT:
All offers of IB admission are conditional on maintaining grades, work habits and citizenship in all courses (academic and elective).
Offers of admission to external candidates are conditional on successful application to the West Vancouver Schools district and to West Vancouver Secondary School.
We have created several resources on this website to guide interested students and parents through the IB application process: our Admissions Timeline, the PDP Admissions page, the Course Admissions page and the Diploma Admissions page. You also email our current IB Coordinator, Nicola Colhoun (ncolhoun@wvschools.ca), for more information.
