Independent Schools

In addition to public schools, B.C. has more than 350 independent schools – providing families with even more educational choices. Currently, about 12 per cent of B.C. students in Grades K – 12 attend independent schools.

These schools fall into four different groups, depending on:

• whether they receive provincial funding and
  
• whether they meet provincial standards in areas such as curriculum and teacher certification.
