The British Columbia (B.C.) Ministry of Education and Child Care offers a globally recognized, innovative curriculum to students worldwide through the B.C. Offshore School Program. Graduating from one of the many B.C. offshore schools around the world, a student can obtain the B.C. Graduation Certificate – Dogwood Diploma, without leaving their country. Many students and families choose a B.C. offshore school because they would like to study in B.C. or Canada after secondary school, possibly even to work and live in Canada in the future.
