Getting a place
How children get a place in Burnaby
French-language schools
A child qualifies for a French-language school when a parent’s first language is French or a parent went to French school in Canada; an admissions committee can admit others.
Independent schools
An independent school decides whom it takes and what it charges; provincial grants cover part of the cost.
The neighbourhood school
Where a family lives settles it: the board’s map ties every address to one school, and a seat anywhere else waits on spare room.
The provinces’ education acts and the boards’ own admission policies; check with the board for a given address.

How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Every school inside Burnaby’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- Bands, not ranks. Bands compare within BC only, measure by measure: never a place in a league table.
- The year. The 2025/26 list.
- Boards and systems. Public schools belong to English and French-language boards (or districts); independent schools run themselves.
