Our Mission StatementIsland Catholic Schools offers educational excellence to all its students in a Catholic environment that is inclusive, financially sustainable, and promotes a culture of faith, hope and love as articulated by the Catholic Church. -
Welcome to the Catholic Independent Schools of the Diocese of Victoria!
-
We have a long, rich history of partnering with parents to provide a quality education for their children within a vibrant faith-based community.
You can read our 2025-2030 Strategic Plan here.The dedicated staff members in our schools are committed to nurturing the “whole” child in Christ-centred communities of learning. We strive to help our students reach the highest levels of development they can achieve by providing them with exceptional learning opportunities that will stimulate growth in knowledge, skills, attitudes, behaviours and personal values in line with our Catholic beliefs.
Allow us the opportunity to support your child to develop their fullest spiritual, intellectual, physical, emotional and social potential in a safe and nourishing environment. A Catholic education is, in my opinion, one of the greatest gifts that you can give your child now in preparation for their future. I know it was for me, and it is the reason my wife and I have chosen to work in Catholic education and enrol our children in Catholic schools. We’re ALL IN!
Catholic education, a gift that will last a lifetime… and beyond!
Blessings,
PAUL ROSSETTI
Superintendent of Schools
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Victoria acknowledges with gratitude that we work, play, and pray on the territories and traditional lands of the Coast Salish, Nuu-chah-nulth, and Kwakwaka’wakw Peoples. In the light of this truth, and in humility, we commit ourselves to continue to work for reconciliation, and for respectful relationships with the Creator and all creation.

Catholic Independent Schools British Columbia launches Bully Free School Program. CISBC has developed a student Code of Conduct and Anti-Bullying policies that reflect the concerns in today’s world. Policies alone do not bring about change.
Catholic Independent Schools of the Diocese of Victoria is determined to support the CISDV Accessibility Plan. Many of our students, parents, and community members face challenges that are both seen and unseen as they attempt to access a broad range of services in our island communities.
