An artist's rendering of Robson Street, China BEIJING - Many countries offer overseas educations here in China, but the Sino-Canada school appears to be taking the concept one step further.

The school, to be built near Shanghai, will offer a complete Canadian experience:

The Sino-Canada high school says its upscale resort will include an international education park, lakeside apartments and Canadian-style wooden cottages. But the main drawing card is the elite school, which offers the B.C. curriculum taught by B.C. teachers to students of wealthy families who want their kids to graduate with B.C. certificates.

"Who wants his or her children losing at the first place?" promotional ads on the school's website ask. "Every moment is crucial to a student. Choosing Sino-Canada High School is an express way to experience the authentic Canadian education; one step closer to the University of British Columbia."

The area will include a replica Robson Street (Vancouver's entertainment and shopping street), Coal Harbour, and Yacht Club (similar to Vancouver's).  Not sure why high-school students need a Yacht Club.

We've written before about B.C's efforts to woo Chinese dollars, and this is just the latest example.  No word on when the "mini-Vancouver" is set to open.
