The Essential Guide to Burke Mountain Schools: 2025/2026 Directory
If you are moving to Burke Mountain—or if you’ve lived here for a few years—you know the defining characteristic of our community is growth. Families flock here for the nature, but they stay for the community. However, with rapid growth comes the inevitable question: “Where will my kids go to school?”
Navigating catchments on "The Mountain" can be a challenge. We have some of the most modern facilities in BC, but we are also facing a massive capacity crunch. As a local Realtor and your neighbor, I believe having accurate data is crucial - not just for your kids, but because school catchments are a primary driver of your home’s value.
