2) How do I apply to get into the literary arts program?
If you are in Grade 10 and you are interested in applying for our Senior Literary Arts program, you will need to fill out an application, following the same process and time line as we have set out for other departments. In addition to the standard steps, applicants also submit a writing portfolio made up of five different writing samples spanning several types of creative writing.
Literary Arts is a program within a program. The Vancouver School Board only permits us to enrol 84 students per year. Byng Arts has chosen in the past to select 23 drama, 5 Media, 33 music, 23 visual arts students, and we will continue to do so. Students within this group, who do well in English 10, will be recommended to English 11 Enriched. As a result, there are very limited spaces available for outside applicants.
