School Profile:

Britannia Secondary School

Britannia Secondary School serves nearly 650 students in one of the most culturally and economically diverse communities in Canada. An IB World School since July 1991, Britannia has changed the way its students are learning—and teaching each other—international life lessons.

Our offices in New York City and Vancouver provide a wide range of services to interested schools and IB World Schools.

Throughout the year, we also provide a full array of professional development opportunities for teachers and administrators that enable them to:

• Implement the most effective classroom practices from around the world.
• Develop students’ capacity to think critically and act compassionately in a complex, ever-shrinking world.
• Satisfy the educational needs of culturally, linguistically and economically diverse student populations.
• Build students’ confidence in their learning abilities.
• Provide teaching faculty with the opportunity to develop and expand their professional skills.
