Quick Answer

How do I find the right Tri-Cities school catchment for my family?

All Tri-Cities public schools belong to **School District 43 (SD43)**, covering 76+ elementary, middle, and secondary schools across Coquitlam, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, Anmore, and Belcarra. Catchments are address-based — verify your exact address on the SD43 boundary locator before any home decision. The district has 9 French Immersion entry points, 1 IB Diploma hub (**Port Moody Secondary**, district-wide since 1986), 3 Late FI middle-school hosts, and 1 Mandarin Bilingual program. **Craig Johnston, 47+ year Tri-Cities resident and Top 1% Team Member — Greater Vancouver REALTORS®**, runs catchment-first home searches — meaning the school comes before the home, not after. Free Strategy Call ends with a written one-page plan.

Verify your exact catchment

## Catchments in SD43 are set by *your address*, not neighbourhood name.

Use SD43’s official locator to enter any Tri-Cities address and see the exact elementary, middle, and secondary schools assigned to it. Programs of Choice (French Immersion, Mandarin Bilingual, Montessori) are draw programs and are **not** address-based.

[Open the SD43 School Locator](http://mybaragar.com/index.cfm?event=page.SchoolLocatorPublic&DistrictCode=bc43)
[or browse SD43’s schools directory](https://www.sd43.bc.ca/Schools/Pages/default.aspx)

Boundaries can be adjusted by SD43 when new schools open or capacity shifts. Always confirm the current assignment before making a home decision based on a specific school.

Frequently asked

## Tri-Cities schools — the questions parents actually ask.

How do I find my Tri-Cities school catchment?

All Tri-Cities public schools are in School District 43 (SD43). Catchments are address-specific — the same street can have different elementary catchments depending on the block. Verify your exact address using SD43's official catchment locator at **sd43.bc.ca**. Catchment boundaries can also be redrawn periodically as new schools open (e.g., the upcoming Burke Mountain Middle Secondary opens fall 2027, which will change feeder patterns for parts of Burke).

Which Tri-Cities schools have French Immersion?

SD43 has **9 French Immersion entry points** across the district — 5 on the Coquitlam side, 1 in Port Moody (Glenayre Elementary), and 5 in Port Coquitlam (Mary Hill, Irvine, Kilmer, Westwood, Coquitlam River). Late FI (Grade 6 entry) is offered at three middle schools: **Citadel, Moody, and Montgomery**. Early FI registration runs annually and is district-wide, not catchment-based — demand often exceeds spots, so register on time.

Which Tri-Cities secondary school offers IB Diploma?

Port Moody Secondary School (PMSS) is the district-wide IB Diploma hub and has been since 1986. The IB program is district-wide, meaning students from any SD43 catchment can apply (admission is competitive and academic-based). Families considering a move primarily for IB access can buy outside the immediate PMSS catchment and still attend, though daily logistics (transit, parking) factor into the decision.

Which schools serve Burke Mountain families?

Burke Mountain elementary catchments rotate through **Smiling Creek**, **Coast Salish** (opened 2023), and **Leigh Elementary** — depending on your specific address. **Minnekhada Middle** serves grades 6–8, then **Terry Fox Secondary** for grades 9–12. The new **Burke Mountain Middle Secondary School** is under construction with a planned fall 2027 opening, which will change middle/secondary feeder patterns for some Burke addresses. Always verify with the SD43 locator for your specific home.

Which schools serve Westwood Plateau and Heritage Mountain?

**Westwood Plateau** feeds six catchment elementaries (Eagle Ridge, Hampton Park, Bramblewood, Walton, Panorama Heights, Nestor) at K–5, Scott Creek or Summit Middle for grades 6–8, then Gleneagle or Pinetree Secondary (by address) or Dr. Charles Best Secondary depending on the specific address. **Heritage Mountain** (Port Moody) feeds Aspenwood Elementary or Heritage Mountain Elementary at K–5, Eagle Mountain Middle for grades 6–8, then **Heritage Woods Secondary** — consistently one of BC's top-ranked public secondaries. Heritage Woods is a major driver of the Heritage Mountain price premium.

Can my child go to a school outside our catchment?

Cross-boundary applications are accepted by SD43 each year, but admission is not guaranteed — catchment students always have priority, and cross-boundary spots depend on capacity. Application windows are seasonal and typically open in late winter/early spring for the following September. For move-decision purposes, never assume your child will get into a non-catchment school. If the school matters, buy in the catchment.

How much does the right school catchment add to a home price?

In the Tri-Cities, the school-catchment premium is real and measurable — particularly for high-demand secondaries like Heritage Woods, Gleneagle, and Dr. Charles Best. The same physical home a block inside a top catchment vs a block outside it can carry a 5–12% price differential, depending on the catchment and price tier. Catchment value also feeds resale stability — homes in strong catchments hold value through softer markets better than homes in weaker ones.

What private schools are in the Tri-Cities?

The Tri-Cities have several independent and faith-based options including **Archbishop Carney Secondary**, **BC Christian Academy**, **Our Lady of the Assumption**, **Our Lady of Fatima Bilingual**, **Children of Integrity Montessori**, and others. Most accept out-of-catchment students and have their own application processes and tuition structures. For families wanting private-school access, you have more flexibility on which Tri-Cities neighbourhood to buy in.
