Unisus School - Summerland, British Columbia

Jens Petersen

The IB program is known for its comprehensive and rigorous approach to education, and it has proven to be a great fit for our son. He is exposed to a wide range of subjects and activities that challenges and inspires him, helping to develop his critical thinking skills and foster a love of learning.

At Unisus, our son has the opportunity to participate in a variety of programs and activities that supports his interests and strengths. The faculty's dedication to fostering a positive and supportive environment is evident, and they regularly communicate with students and parents, ensuring that everyone is informed and involved in the life of the school.

We feel truly lucky to be a part of the Unisus community. The school fosters a sense of belonging and provides opportunities for parents and students to connect and build lasting relationships. The supportive and inclusive environment, combined with the high-quality education offered through the IB program, makes Unisus a truly exceptional choice for families.

Our three children are thriving at Unisus, the focus on outdoor education has been such a great experience for them and allows them to appreciate their surroundings.The small class sizes, IB education and the exposure to international students have been such an asset for their daily lives and they have made so many friends from all over the world.
They push my children to think outside the box, encourage them to be leaders, come up with something creative and to be a good friend.

I came to UNISUS with an untruthful recommendation and I’m here to give mine.
I would not come back and can’t recommend the school until I can prove this is a trustworthy place where a student/teachers can stay healthy in every single way.
While I was staying here, there was a huge lack of privacy for my personal problems. I had personal conversations with coordinators, to later on found out they already told our conversation to other individuals who didn’t need to know about them because my life was not in danger (in case the student’s life is in danger they are allowed to mention conversations with others to prevent the danger). There were different cases just like mine. Additionally, I was constantly feeling like an object because I was used to selling the school because I was an international student, and with that I mean there were so few people who cared a lot about our mental health, and most of the managers didn’t care if we were feeling fine (emotionally or physically), whit it I receive racism from part of the coordination and other students.
I do need to clarify they have excellent teachers, who help me and teach me incredibly useful things.
If you ever come here, things might change and hopefully be a better place so you can have a better experience than I did. Because of all the things that happened this opportunity let me get closer to the rest of the boarding students and have remarkable memories here.
The point of this recommendation is not to make you change your opinion but to let you know the truth as I would have liked to know. I don’t want to go after anyone with this commentary, so if I ever offended someone during this message, I’m sorry, and thank you.
If you or your son/daughter are coming to this school good luck <3

I am thankful everyday that we were told about Unisus. This incredible school has unlocked my girls love for knowledge. The small class sizes and culture they are creating is amazing. One of my daughters played basketball this year and had the best experience. When I ask my girls what they love best about Unisus, they tell me that they feel like one big family.

Watching our child attend this school has been an incredibly refreshing experience. The teachers are so passionate about what they do and inspire the students in a way that you don’t often get to experience. It is a really lovely community and from our experience so far, I would highly recommend it!

My grade 7 daughter says: “UNISUS has evolved as a school. The teachers there are great. They are understanding, and are willing to help you. I love how small the class sizes are. We get to know everyone. The location of UNISUS gives us access to a fenced in forested area, so we can spend safe time in the woods. We also learn about practical applications in the basic subjects, such as travel costs and planning in math as well as socials class. Everything about the school is wonderful. I’m staying til I graduate.”

My grade 10 boy says: “This school has a cacophony of interesting people. They make good friends. The outdoors are of course sublime. The teachers can admittedly be intimidating but luckily they all possess a sense of humour.”

I say: The Teachers care. It shows. My two kids are thriving mentally, emotionally, and physically, and they’ve only been there 3years…

We decided to send our three children to Unisus when the pandemic hit and we're so glad we did! While it's a newer school the teachers are all so amazing at what they do and so obviously care so much about their students. I love that my children have the opportunity to learn in a variety of different ways and get to spend SO much time outdoors.

The teachers, educators and Head of School are excellent. Academic is top notch with the one and only IB curriculum in BC interior. This is the school that will have my little guy ready for the future. Unlike conventional settings, the school, the community and parents involvement are awesome. We know we made the right decision and he knows it too. Thank you, Unisus.
