Victoria School of the Arts is a public school in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada operated by Edmonton Public Schools, offering students from Kindergarten through Grade 12 an arts-focused education.

About

The school is an International Baccalaureate school, and offers IB programmes for grades K-12: one of the only schools in Canada to do so.[1] There are five programs students may pursue at Victoria: Design and New Media, Visual Arts, Theatre, Dance, and Music.[2]

History

The school built at this location in 1911 was known as Edmonton High School.[3] New buildings were constructed in 1949 which became known as Victoria Composite High School or "Vic Comp" for short. In 1985, Bob Maskell took over the position of school principal with the intention of transforming the school from a vocational school with a low enrollment and bad reputation to an arts-based alternative school. He sold off the vocational equipment to finance large-scale renovations, and recruited a staff qualified in a broad range of arts disciplines. Because of the work of Maskell, Victoria School of the Arts has become one of the top arts-focused schools in North America.[4][5]

In addition to its academic and arts programs, Victoria School is known for its cheer teams. The 1994 Large Squad team won the Suzutan World Cheerleading Championships in Nagoya, Japan.[6] Edmonton's Victoria School coed Cheer Team has won more than 200 cheerleading championship trophies, including 24 provincial and 25 city championships. The National Cheerleaders Association USA Summer Camp trophy was renamed from the All-American Award to the Top Team Award as a result of the Victoria coed Team's many wins.[7]

The high school library was destroyed by a deliberately set fire in April 2007 and the perpetrator admitted to setting the fire in 2010—a 24-year-old male that was not one of the school's students.[8]

The Tree Hallway

As part of the 1990s revitalization project the 150 wing of the school was painted with a series of murals depicting trees. The wing became known as "The Tree Hallway".[9]
