At Shawnigan, we believe that a well-rounded education is an exciting education. Shawnigan graduates attend universities and colleges all over North America, and they excel in the exciting and challenging environments at these schools. One reason for this involves the level of commitment our students learn to accept as part of their lives here. Each day, Shawnigan students balance the demands of a fine academic curriculum with commitments to athletics and fine arts. We have a highly qualified and dedicated teaching staff, guaranteeing a caring and productive teaching environment. In the classrooms of the School, our teachers make a commitment to creating an exciting learning environment relevant to the 21st century. From our students, we demand commitment and hard work. The result is excellence.

As Shawnigan is a university preparatory school, it is deemed important that students learn strategies to prepare and sit cumulative assessments, such as those they will encounter in university. The review process in preparation for final examinations is intended to solidify student understanding and is also an opportunity to make or reinforce the links between different parts of the curriculum. It is the School's position, therefore, that all students will sit a final examination in each academic course at each grade level whether these are internal or provincial examinations.
