Summer Intensive Program
Columbia College’s Senior Secondary Program is certified by the BC Ministry of Education and fully meets all provincial graduation requirements for the BC Dogwood Diploma.
Upon successful summer course completion, students will receive a transcript and credits that will be communicated to their designated district or independent school. These credits are applicable towards the BC Certificate of Graduation (Dogwood Diploma) – the same credential awarded by public high schools across British Columbia.
Students benefit from small class sizes, allowing for more individualized attention and direct interaction with their teachers. Columbia College offers a diverse and globally-minded learning environment, where students learn alongside peers from a wide range of backgrounds. All courses are taught by qualified and experienced BC certified teachers, ensuring academic rigor and alignment with BC Ministry of Education standards.
