WHY PURCELL
What sets Purcell Collegiate School (PCS) apart? Is it our small class sizes, our inter-disciplinary approach, our commitment to place-based learning, our connection to the natural environment, our STEM programming and supports, and our partnership with the ?aq’am Community of the Ktunaxa Nation? Yes. But that’s only the beginning.
We cultivate a learning environment where students can exercise their creativity and engage their passions with access to a wide variety of courses under the broader umbrella of the core competencies of British Columbia’s internationally-recognized curriculum.
We aspire to be a school of international significance, one that builds students into competent thinkers, communicators, and advocates who are personally and socially capable in all areas of their lives.
As you explore our website, you will gain insight into what makes Purcell Collegiate so special. You will see a vision for a school and community where students are engaged and inspired to achieve not only for themselves but for one another, where they will learn to work together to build a better future for the global community and the planet.
This is the future of education. #ThisIsPCS ✅
