MISSION STATEMENTMISSION STATEMENT

Our Educational Goals

TO TEACH: standardized curriculum using qualified people trained to Sprott-Shaw Community College guidelines

TO GUIDE: towards workforce expectations through role-modeling

TO LEARN: from each other as learning is a two-way process

When Robert James (RJ) Sprott became partners with William Henry Shaw of Shaw Colleges in 1903, they opened the first Sprott-Shaw school, called Vancouver Business Institute. Their development plan included four schools in Vancouver, one in Nanaimo and one in Victoria. In 1913, RJ Sprott and James Beatty opened Sprott-Shaw College in Victoria, which has been in continuous operation since its opening. The college survived economic recessions, two World Wars and the Great Depression, all making its foundation stronger for today.

Always striving to offer the right programs based on the needs of the community, Sprott-Shaw designed programs to retrain military personnel after the second World War. The training included Morse Code, Radio Broadcasting and Aviation. The college established a broadcast station for the school with a signal being picked up all the way to Hawaii. The station is known as CFUN, still broadcasting today.
