Headmaster's Welcome

The journey starts here

If the journey of a thousand miles begins with one small step, then the search for the right school starts with the initiative to explore. As you take these first steps in discovering Shawnigan, I trust you will gain a sense of our standards and values for the journey. I encourage you to visit the School in person. Few who tour our campus and witness first-hand our approach to education doubt our ability to narrow the distance between young people and their dreams.

At Shawnigan, the journey always begins and ends with the individual. No two young people are the same, and the art of a boarding school like ours is to cultivate their unique talents while teaching them to learn together, to work together, to play together and to live together. Success will follow when the culture is one of support and encouragement, as it is here. I invite you to complete our information form or email our admissions office and see if Shawnigan is the right school for your family.
