At the BC School for the Deaf (BCSD), we provide an educational experience where Deaf students can thrive as learners and as individuals. We recognize both American Sign Language (ASL) and English as languages of instruction and create a learning environment that is inclusive, respectful, and empowering.
All students at BCSD have the right to:
-
Learn in a positive and supportive school climate
-
Communicate clearly and effectively in their language of choice
-
Access a wide variety of programs, services, and experiences
-
Develop their potential through Deaf role models and leadership opportunities
-
Be confident and proud as Deaf individuals
Our learner-focused approach, guided by the BC curriculum, includes:
-
Small class sizes for personalized attention
-
Integration of Deaf Studies and ASL instruction
-
Leadership skills development and exploratory blocks
-
Work experience, career preparation, and transition planning
-
Focus on core competencies for academic and life success
BCSD prepares students to succeed in a rapidly changing world, empowering them with skills, confidence, and a strong connection to the Deaf community.
