The Saskatoon Business College (SBC) exemplifies commitment to academic excellence. The current ownership has operated SBC through three generations, each being trained educators. The school principal, Beth Shewkenek, having graduated from SBC during the years of first generation ownership, then attended University where she received her degree before returning to SBC as a teacher. Her career at the college has spanned all three generations of ownership. Julia Beuckert, who has been teaching Career Strategies at SBC for over 25 years, is also a graduate of the college. When we asked owner Blair Chapman what the greatest strength of SBC was, he thoughtfully replied, “Academic excellence!”. In interviews with staff and students, the response to that question was the same. Academic excellence was their “oyster” and it permeates everything they do. SBC helps ensure on-going academic excellence by actively surveying students as part of a continuing evaluation and improvement program.
