History
New Image College was founded in 1980 by the Canadian husband and wife team Bill and Charlotte Dyck.[9] Both trained exstensively as clinical marriage and family physiologists, with years of philanthropy work[10] within BC and around the world, specifically in India and China. The pair conceived New Image with the goal of providing an opportunity for abused women to develop a "new image" for themselves.
Initially focusing on fashion design, etiquette courses, and self-confidence seminars the business was expanded when it was taken over by their daughter, Charie Van Dyke.
Under the guidance of New Image College President Van Dyke and her husband, Vice President John Craig, the business would develop into one of the most respected and successful private academies in Canada, boasting over 25,000 alumni.
