Facilities
Their gymnasium is often used for athletic events, both extracurricular and intramural. It is also used for our various special activities, such as school dances. Their cafeteria is the main social hangout in our school. Catered by Glen Fine Foods, students can always find something to eat or someone to talk to. The school's library serves a variety of purposes. Whether the students need to research articles using their vast collection of books or multiple internet-enabled computers, or if they're just looking for a quiet atmosphere to relax, the library can suit your needs. VCI is equipped with two regulation tennis courts. The residents from Vankleek Hill are always welcome in using the courts. Whether it's for exercise, or to strengthen their backswing the tennis courts are there for that reason.
Annual Green Day
Green Day has become a proud, school-wide tradition at VCI.For 8 years and counting, VCI students and staff take time out of their busy schedules by helping out senior citizens in the Vankleek Hill community. They rake leaves and clean up lawns, front and back, to make room for all of that wonderful new spring growth.
