Nanaimo District Secondary School or Nanaimo District Community School (NDSS) is a public high school in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada built in 1952. Since then there have been a few renovations, most notably the 1981 construction of the "tower", which houses a number of computer classes and several classrooms.[citation needed] The school has a capacity of about 1600 students. The school has a metal workshop, a woodwork shop, seven computer labs, two gymnasiums, a study hall, two cafeterias, an Automotive Shop, Distance Education programs, and the CTC (career and technical center). The school teaches students from grade 8 to grade 12. NDSS is also home to Nanaimo's French Immersion and Francophone programs.
