Kindergarten, Grade 2, and Grade 5 counts are not published in the source consulted for Anmore — unlike a single missing grade, three simultaneous gaps against one total (110) can't be reliably estimated by subtraction. Grade 1, 3, and 4 figures above are approximate readings from the source's own chart (exact per-student labels are not shown there). Confirm current, exact per-grade counts with the school office before relying on any single number.

What this school is best known for
Anmore Elementary anchors the village. It is the only public school inside the municipal boundary of Anmore and serves Belcarra families as well. The small enrolment supports tight cohorts, well-known teachers, and a hands-on, community-school culture — but it also means transportation is the parents' job. SD43 has discontinued bus service district-wide, so families plan around driving.
Programs & academic profile
Standard BC elementary curriculum delivered at a village-school scale. Small cohorts and well-known teachers are the norm.
Standard SD43 inclusive-education model — resource teachers, learning support, and counselling, scaled to the school's small size.
Standard SD43 ELL programming is available.
District-wide, under SD43's Aboriginal Enhancement Agreement. Indigenous Support Teachers and Child & Youth Care Workers, scholarships, land-based learning, and the All Nations Canoe Event, serving grades K–12 across SD43.

Catchment, feeders & cross-catchment

Anmore is a K-entry-point school. There is no prior level feeder.
Students typically promote to Eagle Mountain Middle (grades 6–8) in Anmore, then on to Heritage Woods Secondary (grades 9–12) in Port Moody.
SD43 allows cross-catchment enrolment when space permits, allocated by lottery with in-district and sibling priority. SD43 cross-catchment policy →
Catchment lines run down individual streets and can put one side of a road in one catchment and the opposite side in the next. Always verify a specific address with the SD43 school locator before relying on any boundary statement.

Inside the catchment · housing read
Anmore housing is unlike anywhere else in the Tri-Cities. The village is known for one-acre estate lots, older split-levels on quiet residential streets, and a small number of high-end custom builds. Inside the Anmore Elementary catchment, every home is in Anmore proper — the school IS the village. Families buying for the catchment typically aren't pricing the school against alternatives; they're buying the Anmore lifestyle and the school comes with it.

Thinking about the move, not just the school?

That's the work I focus on across the Tri-Cities. Start with the move-up guide, then get a no-obligation read on what your current home could sell for today.
