Surrey Academy of Innovative Learning (SAIL) is both a Provincial Online School that offers full-time and part-time online learning programs as well as a blended interdisciplinary school that offers a STEAM and STEAMX program. In a changing world, students need to be independent learners, critical thinkers, collaborators, innovators & contributors. SAIL students embrace and celebrate diversity, which fosters innovation by bringing together varied perspectives, knowledge, and experiences that fuel creativity and lead to more effective, unique solutions.

SAIL is committed to Reconciliation and anti-racism education, which means we encourage students to reflect, build cultural awareness, and help them understand the lasting impacts of colonization. In the words of Jo Chrona, a Ts’msyen speaker, education consultant, Indigenous education advocate, and author, "we can strive to understand how these truths affect our lives today, and how we can address the legacies of the past and make changes in the present to move forward". 

As part of our work in Reconciliation, SAIL is committed to following the First Peoples Principles of Learning that guide our BC curriculum and to increasing the presence of Indigenous languages, cultures, and histories in our courses.
