Unique Boarding Options on Vancouver Island

Here are some interesting statistics that you might not know: for instance, did you know that there are 28 boarding schools in Canada?  My school, Brentwood College School, is found on Vancouver Island, in beautiful British Columbia.  There are 5 boarding schools on the island and a whopping 27% of all boarding students in Canada are in these five schools on Vancouver Island.

Many Americans are surprised to learn that many students from the USA come to Canada, especially Vancouver Island, for high school.  For instance, at Brentwood College School, 10% of our students are from the United States.   Why do they come?  In a nutshell, they come to us for the quality of the education, the success of the university/college placements all over the world, and the safe, pristine learning environment.  As well, in many cases, boarding here is cheaper than many of the comparable schools in the USA.

So if you are looking around for quality boarding schools, make sure you look northwest.  You will be pleasantly surprised.  Guaranteed!
