Welcome to Aspengrove

Aspengrove School is the first and only independent, non-denominational, co-educational, university-preparatory school in Nanaimo, British Columbia.

This isn’t your typical school. There’s a sense of discovery, a spirit of inquiry here. Students – from preschool through high school – say learning is exciting. Fun. Challenging. And it doesn’t happen only in the classroom. Some days it’s in a forest of tall cedars, and other days it’s on a stage.

At Aspengrove, we apply the curriculum of the International Baccalaureate Programme*, one of the world’s most rigorous and highly esteemed education programmes. Our students become lifelong learners and conscientious critical thinkers. They’re well prepared to thrive in a university environment and beyond, as caring socially responsible adults.

*Aspengrove is an International Baccalaureate World School accredited to offer both the Primary Years Programme as well as the Middle Years Programme.  For more information, go to http://www.ibo.org.
