Jean Vanier Catholic High School offers an excellent education to those looking to enroll their kids in a Catholic high school setting. Perhaps most impressive is their Advanced Placement (AP) Program, which enables students to pursue university-level studies in their final year of high school. If they perform well in their AP courses, they’re able to earn first year university credit for their course work — which can save lots of time and money when they’re accepted to university the following year!
