About the School
Vancouver, ranked among the most livable cities in the world, is a wonderful place to travel and study. SGIC opened a campus on Robson Street to enjoy these privileges of Vancouver. Robson Street is famous for shopping, sightseeing, dining and nightlife. Vancouver is neither too cold nor too hot, so the weather is not only good for studying but also perfect for a variety of activities such as sunbathing on the beach, hiking, kayaking and snowboarding. Vancouver is a very relaxed city, and its people are energetic, bright and friendly even to strangers. Since opening, SGIC Vancouver has grown rapidly and offers a variety of programs and activities to meet students' needs. SGIC Vancouver has modern classrooms, a party room, computer stations and a cafeteria. Newsletters, volunteer activity notices, activity calendars and more are regularly updated on the school bulletin board. SGIC Vancouver runs small classes.
