Welcome to our Elementary School!

Our Junior Kindergarten class has an 8 to 1 ratio of students to teacher. As it is a licensed daycare facility through Fraser Health, we abide by their guidelines. Therefore 2 teachers for the 16 students.  

For the 2021/22 school year there is one Junior Kindergarten class of 16 students.

There will be one class of 16 seats available for the 2022/23 school year.

Applications for the first-round of offers for Junior Kindergarten were due November 31, 2021. We are still accepting applications for a possible second-round of offers but our JK class does fill up fast.

Please contact admissions@meadowridge.bc.ca to inquire.

There are 3 Kindergarten teachers with a teacher to student ratio of 1:13. As we keep the class sizes small, we utilize one teacher who has aid from specialist teachers such as French, PHE, Music, Art and Library teachers.

For the 2021/22 school year there are three Kindergarten classes (3 classes for 40 total students in Kindergarten)

Our current Junior Kindergarten students getting the option to register first before any external applicants.

We anticipate a few seats being available at most grade levels. However some classes this school year are waitlisted and we anticipate more for the next year. Please contact admissions@meadowridge.bc.ca to inquire for your particular grade of interest.
