An independent boarding school for Grades 8-12 on Canada's West Coast, Shawnigan Lake School strives to prepare students to handle real-life challenges with maturity and thoughtfulness. With a curriculum designed to enhance students’ education beyond textbook learning, Shawnigan Lake School features a program called “Edge” that helps young people gain the leadership skills and technical skills they need to become citizens who make meaningful contributions to society. The school’s salmon hatchery allows students to gain hands-on experience raising fish, while the outdoor adventure program challenges students to face whitewater rapids, sleep in snow caves, and provide first aid to the injured. Other aspects of the school’s Edge program include an entrepreneurship activity that gives students the responsibility of running a popular restaurant and a model United Nations that allows students to explore and debate complex geopolitical issues.
