BC Government Rolls Out Quality Assurance Scheme
|
|
 GV Vancouver – In response to recent federal legislation requiring Canadian schools to be recognized by provincial governments to be eligible to accommodate students with study permits, the Ministry of Advanced Education of British Columbia has invited schools to undergo its quality assurance mechanism of registration and accreditation. The government accreditation is intended to augment the industry’s self-regulatory accreditation operated by Languages Canada. The twin-pillar industry and government accreditation system will result in one of the most robust quality assurance mechanisms of its type to ensure quality delivery of the highest standard, and that students’ investments are very well protected. GV Vancouver embraces the provincial accreditation requirement. Quality and quality assurance have always been the hallmark of GV Vancouver since its inception over 25 years ago. Our Mission Statement is more true today than ever.

 GV Calgary - On our recent school trip to the Rockies, our students not only enjoyed the fantastic winter landscape, but celebrated their cultures on the bus trip to and from Calgary. Students from various countries such as Saudi Arabia, Italy, Japan and Spain and even our Events Coordinator, Mhairi, who is from New Zealand, all shared in singing songs from their countries. It may interest you to know that in 2014, students from 92 countries chose to study at GV Calgary. This was a record and just shows how our cultural diversity keeps growing. We are truly “Global Village”!
Check out the new video to view the students having winter fun and celebrating their cultures.

Neighbor Island Trips At GV Hawaii
|
 GV Hawaii - One of the best experiences at GV Hawaii is to sign-up for one of the many school activities available to students. In particular, a neighbor island trip to Kauai, Maui and the Big Island of Hawaii. On Kauai, students kayak through the beautiful Wailua River, hike through the forest to a secret waterfall and enjoy Hawaii's natural beauty on the oldest main Hawaiian Island. While on the Big Island of Hawaii you are able to see one of the most active volcanoes in the world and watch native green sea turtles basking on a beautiful black sand beach in the Hawaiian sun. If you are more of a water person, then this time of the year in January, February and March it's best to travel to the Hawaiian Island of Maui where over 10,000 whales are known to pass through the islands annually on their way to their breeding grounds in Alaska. Experience the fun of learning at GV Hawaii and the beauty of the Hawaiian Islands.
