Post Secondary Guidance
Preparing for Post-Secondary
QMS students are counseled to think beyond graduation and are supported in their research, preparation and application for post-secondary by a team of professionals that includes Post-Secondary Counsellors, a Faculty Advisor and subject area teachers.
The Post-Secondary Counselling Office works closely with students to ensure that BC Ministry of Education requirements for graduation are met. Starting in Grade 10, students will meet individually with a Post-Secondary Counsellor to research and discuss options for their post-secondary education. We also provide assistance for TOEFL, SAT, IELTS and other exams that may be required for post-secondary entrance.
Students’ post-secondary guidance teams help with research, filling out applications, applying for scholarships, writing reference letters, sending transcripts, and interviewing techniques. The Post-Secondary Counselling Centre also hosts post-secondary presentations and seminars, sponsors exploratory field trips to post-secondary schools in BC and arranges trips to University Fairs and Portfolio Days.
University Acceptances
Queen Margaret’s School graduates approach life after high school with confidence that is built through outstanding academic preparation and balanced by relevant and meaningful experiences in community service, entrepreneurial initiatives, global studies, public speaking, visual and performing arts and athletics. Our graduates are accepted to their choice of universities and colleges in Canada, North America and abroad.
Achieving personal excellence is an important aspect of a QMS education. Our graduates pursue studies in a broad variety of fields such as engineering, business and finance, the humanities/arts, mathematics, pre-law, medical sciences, pharmacy, the social sciences, urban design and more. Students are always encouraged to follow their passion and blaze their own trail.
We offer a range of Advanced Placement (AP) courses that provide an option for students who wish to earn college/university credits while still in high school. These course offerings change each year based on demand, yet can include subjects such as AP Biology, AP Precalculus, AP Calculus, AP Statistics AP Macroeconomics and AP Psychology.
Students find creative expression through visual and media arts, choir, instrumental music, film, and drama. Advanced Placement (AP) Studio Art courses allow students to prepare for entry into post-secondary schools of art and applied design in the fields of fashion, animation, film, media, and architecture.
With life skills such as leadership, critical thinking, collaboration, and independence, our students become confident leaders of character and compassion empowered to create a more just and connected world.
