Description
|
Located on Bowen Island, Island Pacific School is an IB World School focused exclusively on middle school education, with over 30 years of experience guiding students through these pivotal years. Our intentionally small, close-knit community embraces wisdom, courage, and integrity, creating a supportive space for both meaningful personal and robust academic growth. Set apart from the rush of city life and surrounded by nature, Island Pacific School gives students the freedom to discover their identity and build a strong foundation for success in high school and beyond.
Noteworthy: Personalized Attention: At Island Pacific School, we believe that learning is most effective when it's tailored to the needs of each student. Our small class sizes ensure every child is seen, heard, and supported, both inside and outside the classroom. Critical Thinking and Experiential Learning: We don't just teach facts. We empower students to think critically and engage in hands-on learning, from Masterworks projects to outdoor expeditions. We nurture creativity and problem-solving skills that will last a lifetime. Community-Centered: Relationships matter here. Our teachers are not just educators, they're mentors and friends. We're committed to fostering strong connections between teachers, students, and parents, creating a close-knit community where everyone feels like they belong. Masterworks Program: 1. Two Words - Ted Talk - Can a 14-year-old be expected to conduct a public presentation similar to a TED talk? Absolutely! Our school students have been doing so for 27 years through Masterworks. 2. Self-directed - Self-selected and Self-presented, this Masterworks independent study project marks a significant academic achievement at IPS. 3. A Graduation Milestone - The Masterworks independent study project is compulsory for every grade 9 student to complete as a graduation milestone at Island Pacific School. 4. Expert Support - Students are mentored through the process by expert advisors - leaders in their respective fields - who act as external advisors. Working collaboratively with Island Pacific faculty, advisory committees guide Grade 9's through the Masterwork process which provides a foundation for academic achievement. 5. Project Diversity - we love the diversity of projects the students come up with. In past years, students have made documentary and animated films, created original works of art written extensive research papers, written and published a novella, and built an actual boat! |
