UNISUS School vs. Ridley College

UNISUS School is a co-educational Canadian day and boarding school in Summerland, British Columbia, welcoming students from the local community and around the world.

Set on a 17-acre campus in a safe, welcoming community, UNISUS combines strong academics with personal attention and opportunities for students to discover what they love.

Boarding students live on campus, just steps from their classrooms, and build friendships with Canadian and international peers.

The Okanagan Valley makes Canada part of the learning experience.

Surrounded by lakes and mountains, students can enjoy four distinct seasons through outdoor learning, after-school activities and weekend adventures.

Boarding life helps students develop independence, study habits and practical life skills, with caring staff there to support them.UNISUS offers IB programmes and approaches to learning, including the IB Diploma Programme in the final two years of high school.

Students who complete the IB Diploma also earn the BC Dogwood Diploma, graduating with two recognized credentials. The IB Diploma can strengthen university applications and may lead to early offers, scholarship opportunities or first-year university credits, depending on the institution and the student's results. Students can also choose an Enriched BC Dogwood (BC High School Diploma) pathway or pursue the BC Dogwood Diploma on its own, giving them the flexibility to match their studies to their goals and interests.

That flexibility extends beyond the classroom. Through Academics+, students in Grades 610 dedicate three afternoons each week to a Scholar-Athlete Academy in hockey, snowsports, motorsports or soccer, or to enrichment opportunities in areas such as outdoor education, technology, entrepreneurship, arts and athletics.
