Your children’s educational success is important and Nanaimo has an excellent environment to see your children thrive from kindergarten to post-secondary education. The Province and the City of Nanaimo are equally invested in your children’s success with initiatives like the School Enhancement Program (SEP) increasing programs and opportunities for local and international students. If you prefer private schools, several options are available for your consideration (link to private school urls). Nanaimo has three branches of the Vancouver Island Regional Library with over one million books, magazines, videos, cassettes, newspapers and other materials!
