The Dogwood Diploma program allows students to complete their high school requirements with a smaller, more personalized class size. Our course curriculum has the same credential that is offered by the British Columbia Public School System.
Upon successful completion of the program, students will receive their BC Dogwood Diploma and be able to enter first year at universities in Canada and the United States. For international students looking to enter high school, many overseas courses will transfer into this program and count towards graduation requirements.
