St. Michaels University School

At St. Michaels University School, we believe many of the most important lessons — both intellectual and personal — enable students to discover not only who they are as individuals but who they can become. Committed to academic excellence, we offer a range of truly outstanding courses as well as exceptional athletic, performing arts, outdoor education and extracurricular programs.

SMUS graduates attend top universities around the world and in Canada, from Yale to McGill to Oxford. Our alumni are renowned athletes, actors, and entrepreneurs; our students are challenged to meet their full potential in everything they do.

Studienangebot

SMUS challenges and engages its students intellectually, in and out of the classroom. All students expand their potential in many areas, especially leadership. One of the first schools in Canada to adopt the Advanced Placement program, we now offer 24 AP subjects that allow our students to pursue their passions to the highest degree.

Our award-winning faculty engages students on a daily basis, constantly integrating new techniques and approaches into their classrooms and taking an interest in each and every student that passes through their doors. Through our Scholar in Residence program, our students learn from guest speakers who are experts in everything from international economics to documentary film. SMUS prepares its students for both post-secondary education and for life in an ever-changing world.

Studentenleben

Located in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia, SMUS boarders benefit from all Vancouver Island has to offer, from kayaking along the coast to studying botany on Mount Tolmie. Though the SMUS campus is in a quiet, residential neighbourhood, Victoria’s vibrant downtown — and its restaurants, art galleries, theatres and stores — is a short distance away.

Residential life boasts contemporary boarding facilities for students from 20 countries around the world, from Germany to Barbados to Japan. On-campus concerts, intramurals, poetry readings, sports and other events keep boarders entertained when school is not in session, and weekends offer an opportunity to explore downtown, go on trips with fellow boarders, and compete in inter-house games.

With the support of a dedicated faculty, we offer a huge variety of clubs and councils where students contribute to life on campus.
