Our School

St. Bernadette School is committed to providing a Catholic environment in which children may grow as unique persons. This development focuses on the whole child; spiritually, physically, intellectually, and socially, so that they become caring members of our society.

The active involvement of the parents is a key element of our school life; their dedication, sacrifices, loyalty, and commitment, through parent participation programs, all help to make St. Bernadette an excellent school. The co-operation, support and dedication of the pastor, parents, teachers, and parishioners have assured its success.

The school is, and must continue to be, an active part of the parish as a whole. The dedication of the founders of our parish set the cornerstones for the development of our faith. Although perhaps, they did not realize the fruits of their labour, by having their own children attend the school, their reward was an abundance of grace and the knowledge that today students benefit from that love of the church and their vision for our community.

The school is operated as an independent school, following the policies of the Catholic Independent Schools of the Vancouver Archdiocese (CISVA). It adheres to all the requirements of the B.C. Ministry of Education regarding curriculum, teacher qualifications, resources and facilities. It is operated locally by the Parish Education Committee, which sets local policy on school matters.

Our goal, in a word, is EXCELLENCE in all learning, both human and divine.

Thank you for your interest in our school. We look forward to working with you and your child(ren). With your support and involvement, we can continue to do great things in the future for the glory of God.
