Vancouver Adult Study Abroad

High School Program

Grades 10, 11, 12 | Officially Approved by the BC Ministry of Education

The High School Program is designed for domestic and international students who aim to enter Canadian universities.
Students can choose among three academic tracks according to their English level and academic goals.
All programs are officially recognized by the Ministry of Education, British Columbia, and allow students to earn an accredited Canadian high school diploma while preparing for university admission.
Program Overview

The high school completion pathway includes Grades 10–12 and offers three options depending on the student’s academic background and English proficiency.

Regular High School Program

Students complete core subjects such as English, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Arts under the BC curriculum.
Previous coursework from home-country middle or high school may be partially transferred for credit.
Students can also complete prerequisite courses required for Canadian university admission.

University Bridge Program

This program is suitable for students who have already graduated from high school but lack specific prerequisite courses for university entry — such as English 12 or Math 11/12.

Adult Graduation Program

A fast-track graduation option for adult learners aged 18 and older.
Students can earn a high school diploma in as little as 1–2 semesters (4–8 months) and move directly into a University Transfer Program or Associate Degree program.

Adult Graduation Program Details

This program leads to the Adult Dogwood Diploma, the official adult high school diploma recognized by the BC Ministry of Education.
Students may transfer previously earned credits from high school studies in Canada or abroad, or start fresh in Canada.
Only five courses are required to graduate, and no provincial exams are needed.
