MISSA takes place on the campus of Lester B. Pearson
College of The Pacific. The College is located on the Pacific Ocean at
Pedder Bay, 29 km west of the city of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
Clustered on the wooded hillside shores of Pedder Bay, the simple cedar
buildings on the College campus provide an ideal environment for the
purpose, aims, and philosophy of the institution. During the school year, Pearson College
hosts 200 International Baccalaureate students from around the world. A detailed view of the campus is
available at www.pearsoncollege.ca/campus_map.htm.
The campus has a swimming pool and gym that are
available for student use during MISSA from 7:30am to 8:30 pm. Pool towels
are not provided.
There are phones in all residences for local calls
only. Pay phones are located on the
second floor of the Academic Building above the Little Lecture Theatre and
in the Lounge. During MISSA you can
receive messages at 250-391-2411. Messages
will be posted on the Dining Hall bulletin board. Outgoing mail can be left in the mail box
in the Dining Hall.
Stamps may be purchased at the sales desk. There is very limited
email access.
Since Pearson College was designed with academics in mind,
its facilities are not ideally suited to artistic endeavours. We do the
best we can with the challenge of meeting each course’s needs and we
hope that students are adaptable to these challenges. Most of the campus is accessible only by
foot and, in some cases, by stairway.
