Venue: The Oxford International Junior Programme in Vancouver is held on the University of British Columbia campus near Spanish Banks Beach. Right on the edge of the city, the campus retains a natural setting of forests and shoreline. The Vancouver campus is on the coast of the Strait of Georgia, across from Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. It is only half an hour by car from the Vancouver International Airport (YVR) and also half an hour, by bus, from the downtown core.
Facilities: Students on the Oxford International Junior Programme Vancouver are housed in on-campus residences. They have access to the excellent sports facilities of the UBC Campus: sports fields, tennis, basketball, softball, indoor swimming pool and an ice rink, when available.
Programme: The Vancouver location provides many opportunities for excursions, both in nature and in the city: beach days, amusement parks, walking and shopping excursions in the city, and further afield to locations such as Granville Island and Whistler. Students on the Oxford International Junior Programme can also opt to work on the IELTS certification with classes organised in the school’s city location.
