Check out a 3-minute video about iTech!

iTech makes every effort to maintain the student population of the school. If space becomes available at any grade level during the course of the school year, the waiting list will be reviewed. Invitations to iTech will be extended on a space-available basis.

There is a waiting list at each grade level based upon the number of applicants and the availability that iTech can offer. Applicants will stay on the waiting list for one year, after which they need to submit a new application for the next school year.

We always have a large number of applicants at every grade level. In recent years, we accepted approximately 90 students of the 300 who showed interest for 6th grade. In grades 7-12 there are fewer applicants, but less availability as a majority of iTech students stay for all seven years.

Once applicants have applied and been accepted, they do not have to reapply in the following years. If a student does not get accepted on the first try, they are encouraged to reapply the following school year.

There is no tuition if accepted to iTech as we are a Vancouver Public School. There are still the general fees associated with all schools, paid at the beginning of a school year.

iTech does have students in need of special education services. Through an inclusive model, students are given the necessary support to have a positive educational experience.

Vancouver Public Schools provides bus transportation for in-district students. Each of the six district middle schools will serve as a “hub” site, transporting 6-12th graders from their neighborhood middle school to iTech at the start of the school day. Routes will return students to their neighborhoods after the end of the school day.

Students who wish to participate in sports at their neighborhood school may do so for one sport season (fall or spring at high school level) per school year. However, because iTech students finish classes at 4:05pm, then students will likely miss some or most of their last period of the day. Students will need prior early release approval through the principal for the athletic season (note that all students must still meet the graduation requirements in order to be approved for an early release). Additionally, families are responsible for transportation.

Yes, all students enroll in Spanish courses beginning in 7th grade. In fact, all iTech students must take a minimum of four years of Spanish to complete the iTech diploma. Please note: Spanish is not an option for 6th grade.
