Founded on Canada’s rich tradition of multiculturalism and guided by enduring humanistic values, City Vancouver Academy High School embraces the dignity and worth of every individual. We believe that fostering equity and inclusivity begins with deep listening—approaching every conversation with open hearts and open minds. We honour the unique experiences of our students, faculty, and staff, recognizing them as essential voices in building a compassionate, inclusive, and forward-thinking community.

At CVA, we take pride in our moral responsibility to prepare students to become engaged global citizens—individuals who value collaboration, aspire toward excellence, and approach the world with empathy and purpose.

​

Our programs are designed to inspire curiosity, encourage expression, and cultivate dialogue. Through a discussion-based classroom model, students are invited to share ideas, challenge perspectives, and learn from one another. This active engagement, combined with a rigorous and comprehensive curriculum, nurtures critical thinking, creativity, and leadership—empowering our students to become the visionary leaders of tomorrow.
