VGC International College

A Word from the Director

Thank you for your interest in VGC International College. We know that the decision to choose a school is an important one and we are honored that you are considering us.

Our reputation is built around a strong focus on the student experience. We have accomplished this by concentrating on enabling our students to achieve their individual academic goals, creating a warm environment and giving our students an amazing intercultural experience. Collectively, these positive experiences have made VGC one of the fastest-growing schools in Canada.

To adjust to this growth, we have added a new campus that boasts more student space, modern classrooms and a great location in the heart of Vancouver.

We have expanded our course options by keeping our award-winning English language programs and adding new business classes. We have achieved this by dividing our college into two schools: the School of English Language and the School of Business. By doing this, we have changed with the times and demands of the students. Now VGC students can graduate from our college with their English language goals achieved and practical business training, a combination of skills and experience that can be life-changing. Over the next few years, you will see the School of Business grow as we hope to keep adding to our programs.

As we look forward to the future, we will continue to recognize that for our students, this is a once in a lifetime experience, and we will look forward to creating new stories with new students and making VGC International College part of your future.

Dominic Walton,
Executive Director
