Preparing to Register:

To complete the online registration process, you will need to provide the following information: 

  1. An email address currently in use (for verification, receipts, communication, etc.)
  2. The student PEN (Personal Education Number). This is a 9-digit number issued to every student enrolled in a BC School.
  3. The student's birthdate. 

 Student PEN for VSB students can be found at VSB Student PEN Request. 

There is no fee for Ministry Funded courses. 

For courses that require a fee, payment must be made at the time of registration using VISA or MasterCard. For information about course fees, see Fee Information.

Registration for Non-VSB Students

The VSB is delighted to welcome non-VSB students to the VSB Summer Learning Program and appreciate your enthusiasm for joining the summer learning community.  The VSB values the diversity and perspectives that non-VSB students bring and look forward to the opportunity to include them in the VSB Summer Learning Program.  However, please understand that the district's priority is to serve and accommodate current VSB students first.  

VSB Summer Learning Placement Priority

  1. Students who currently attend a Vancouver School District public school
  2. Students who currently reside in the city of Vancouver and do not currently attend a Vancouver School District public school
  3. Students who reside outside the city of Vancouver and do not currently attend a Vancouver School District public school

Non-VSB students include those attending an independent school within the Vancouver School District or students attending public or independent schools in other districts. Current Kindergarten to Grade 11 students who are not attending a VSB school are eligible to register for the VSB Summer Learning Program.   

All non-VSB student information in the district's student information system (MyEducationBC) is deleted upon completion of the summer program, in compliance with Ministry guidelines to protect your privacy and personal identifiable information.  Returning non-VSB students need to follow the same registration process as new non-VSB students.

When registering, students need to enter their Personal Education Number (PEN) and complete a non-VSB registration. Your PEN will be processed and added to our school district's summer registration system within 2 business days. Once your PEN is processed, you will be able to register for VSB Summer Learning courses. No notification will be sent when this process is complete unless there is an issue.  In some cases, an email will be sent requesting additional information if required to verify the non-VSB student's eligibility for provincial funding to attend a public school.

Need help? 

If you have any questions or need assistance, please email the summer learning office at: summerlearning@vsb.bc.ca or call 604-713-4550.
