Sources & methodology
School facts verified against the SD43 Gleneagle Secondary school page, the SD43 Board of Education / Trustees page, and the SD43 school locator. Catchment, registration, and cross-catchment information from SD43's cross-catchment policy page. Enrolment (1,177 students, 2025–2026; Grade 10 = 272, Grade 11 = 317) and program confirmations are drawn from schoolguide.vtco.app's public school profile tool, retrieved September 2026; per-grade counts for Grade 9 and Grade 12 were not available in the source consulted. The Indigenous Education Support program and the SD43 International Student Program were confirmed as district-wide SD43 offerings via the same tool. All SD43.bc.ca links on this page were re-verified and updated to SD43's current site structure in September 2026 — the previous SharePoint-style URLs (school page, the locator page, registration, cross-catchment) had gone dead after SD43 relaunched its website.

“We had a fantastic experience working with Craig, who was recommended by a friend. He patiently guided us through the process to purchase our family forever home in Vancouver, explaining all the steps and answering all of our many questions. He was always responsive and available whenever we needed him and always felt like he wanted the absolute best for us.”Susie N
“One of the sales was my Mom’s home. She is 97 and so this was a very emotional issue to be leaving her beloved home of so many years… Craig was extremely patient in explaining the market and was very sensitive to her concerns. We can’t thank him enough for his empathy and understanding in working with an elderly person through a difficult time in a very caring manor!”Ann English
“Craig is a true professional and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. His approach is clear, data-driven and resulted in multiple offers for our sale.”Robert Shin
Thinking about the move, not just the school?
If you're weighing a move into this catchment, the hard part usually isn't the school — it's the timing and the tax math: when to sell your current home, how the property-transfer-tax works on the next one, and how to buy into the right catchment without overpaying. 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.
