Catchment, feeders & cross-catchment

Students typically promote to Eagle Mountain Middle (grades 6–8) → Heritage Woods Secondary (grades 9–12).
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
Heritage Mountain's catchment is the polished version of the eastern Port Moody slope — established homes built primarily in the late 1990s and 2000s, manicured landscaping, sweeping views off the upper streets. The catchment commands a premium against Mountain Meadows below and is consistently cited as one of Port Moody's strongest family-buyer catchments. For deeper Heritage Mountain neighbourhood market intel, see the Heritage Mountain Schools Guide hub on this site.

Sources & methodology
School facts verified against the SD43 Heritage Mountain Elementary 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 (283 students, 2025–2026; grades 1–5 individually reported, Kindergarten not broken out by the source) is cross-referenced against the BC Ministry of Education's Student Headcount by Grade open dataset, retrieved September 2026; the Indigenous Education Support program and the SD43 International Student Program were cross-referenced against publicly reported SD43 district program information, also retrieved September 2026. All SD43.bc.ca links on this page were re-verified September 2026 after SD43 relaunched its website — the previous SharePoint-style URLs (school pages, the locator page, registration, cross-catchment) all now 404 or redirect to the SD43 homepage. This same link rot is very likely present across the rest of the school-guide pages and should be swept sitewide, not just fixed on this one.

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.
