Imagine being part of a community of learners that is founded on the principles of global awareness and cultural understanding.

Quality Programs

“Every day at Gulf Islands Secondary School was a good memory for me. I learned so much about myself, other cultures and the environment. This experience gave me the confidence and the English and academic skills that I needed to pursue my post-secondary education in Canada."

Caring Homestays

“Going to Gulf Islands Secondary School was the best choice of my life. The friendships that I made there will always be a part of my life. Salt Spring Island is my second home and I will always appreciate the care and support that my host family gave me."

Amazing Teachers and Students

“I thank my teachers and friends for giving me the confidence and skills to go to university. The teachers at Gulf Islands Secondary are the best.”

Unsurpassed Support

“The past two years have been a precious experience that I feel has helped me move forward towards my dreams. Thanks to everyone for always being there for me and for the never-ending support.”

Natural Beauty and Safety

“GISS has filled my experience with excitement and wonder of what this small community has to offer. I have become more independent and established very close bonds with friends and community that will always be an important part of my life.”

Sense of Community

“Salt Spring Island was a great experience for me. The people here are so open minded and friendly. They certainly changed my view of the world in a good way. Thank you.”

Imagine...living and learning here.

We asked some of our students to grab a camera and show you around.
