More Than Education.

The Catholic Independent Schools of the Vancouver Archdiocese (CISVA) is a network of 46 schools from Powell River to Vancouver and the Lower Mainland offering a unique educational experience that goes beyond academics. Our schools are communities where students grow in knowledge character, faith, and purpose. Illuminated by the Gospel, these schools foster a nurturing environment where children are encouraged to develop compassion, integrity, and a strong sense of responsibility. Teachers and parents work in partnership to guide students toward becoming thoughtful, ethical leaders who are prepared to make a positive impact in the world. In Catholic education, learning is not just about what students know, it's about who they become.
