School Profile: Sol Schools Vancouver
One of the highlights of Vancouver is its rich diversity of neighbourhoods. Located in the historic district of vibrant Gastown in downtown Vancouver, you will experience one of the city's most culturally diverse and oldest neighbourhoods while studying at Sol Schools Vancouver. When you walk Gastown's cobblestone streets, passing artist studios, historic buildings and unique shops, you will find our school only steps away from the world's first steam-powered clock, now one of the city's most photographed attractions. The breathtaking view of the Vancouver Harbour and mountains only minutes from the school makes learning with us that much more enjoyable.
