Online homeschool in Victoria, British Columbia
Live Cambridge IGCSE & A-Level for Victoria and Vancouver Island families. Built for UVic, UBC, Royal Roads, plus Ivy League and Pacific Rim applications. BC DL Funding eligible. From USD 423 per month.
Victoria families benefit from UVic's tradition of accepting strong international qualifications — Cambridge A-Level equivalent to BC Grade 12 for admissions. Plus Vancouver Island's ferry-isolation from the mainland makes online learning genuinely valuable — Smartious live classes don't require ferry connections. BC DL Funding helps Victoria families offset tuition.
Victoria is BC's provincial capital, located on Vancouver Island — University of Victoria (UVic), Royal Roads University, and Camosun College anchor the academic culture. Federal/provincial government employees, military (CFB Esquimalt naval base), tourism/hospitality, and the island's relaxed pace create distinctive homeschool families targeting UVic, UBC, and Pacific Rim international universities.
