Vancouver Island School of Innovation and Inquiry
Hillside Avenue V8T 0A2 Victoria, BC, Canada

Welcome to the start of a new school year, which we already know will be like no other year! Drop-off and Pick-up The school day runs from 9:30-3:30 Monday through Friday, with the exception of the holidays and Pro-D days noted at the end of this document. If your child is going to be late or absent, please contact the school mobile phone (number TBA soon) as the learners will often start the day with time outside. http://visii.ca/2020/09/15/september-2-parent-update/

VISII's new teacher, Simone Littledale Escobar, is a gifted ceramic artist, among other things. Our students will be in excellent hands this year! http://www.ghostmountain.co/about-1

VISII is delighted to welcome Simone Littledale (@quiubosimone) as our new teacher. Simone is an art and Spanish teacher, a ceramic artist, a writer, and a polymathic explorer of the natural world. We're so excited about the wide-ranging skills and interests she will bring to our learners!

Founding parent Adam van der Linde will be speaking with Gregor Craigie on Tuesday morning (Aug. 18) at 8:10 am. Tune in to Radio One's "On the Island" to hear Adam speak about our collaborative parent-driven endeavour to start up a new school during a pandemic!

VISII is one of the safest places to go to school during a pandemic. Our learning group for September 2020 will be no more than 20 students. And there is only one learning group in the entire school! Compare the learning group size for public middle schools: 60 students in a learning group, in a school with multiple learning groups. We can take a few more students before we are at the upper limit of our cohort. Contact [email protected] if you'd like your child to pursue inquiry learning in a small, safe learning group this fall.
