Meadowridge School

Meadowridge School was founded in 1985 as an independent, coeducational day school and sits on a 35-acre campus at 12224 240th Street, Maple Ridge, British Columbia — roughly 55 minutes from downtown Vancouver, so it serves the wider Vancouver region rather than the city itself. It enrolls about 644 students from Junior Kindergarten through Grade 12 and reports 152,000 square feet of facilities and a library of 45,000+ resources.

The school is an authorized International Baccalaureate Continuum World School, delivering all three IB programmes alongside the British Columbia Ministry of Education curriculum: the Primary Years Programme (Junior Kindergarten–Grade 5, authorized 19 February 2007), the Middle Years Programme (Grades 6–10, authorized 6 March 2007) and the Diploma Programme (Grades 11–12, authorized 1 March 2012, with the first DP cohort graduating in 2014). This gives it a fully authorized JK-to-12 IB continuum, which is comparatively rare.

Meadowridge is affiliated with Canadian Accredited Independent Schools (CAIS), the Council of International Schools (CIS), the Independent Schools Association of British Columbia (ISABC) and the International Baccalaureate Organization; these bodies verify institutional quality and, in the case of CAIS/CIS, involve accreditation review, though the school's own accreditation-status page could not be retrieved to confirm current standing verbatim. Its motto is 'Learning to Live Well, With Others and For Others, In a Just Community,' and it runs a four-house system (Alouette, Kanaka, Fraser, Whonnock).

Tuition is fully published for 2026/2027: CAD 32,595 for domestic students and CAD 42,595 for international students (the latter including a CAD 10,000 international fee), uniform JK–Grade 12, plus one-time enrollment fees and programme fees. The school reports 100% post-secondary acceptance and, per third-party summaries, graduates place at universities across Canada, the US and the UK.

Honest positioning: a well-established, fully-authorized IB continuum school with transparent fees and a large campus. As is typical in Canada, there is no graded public inspection band to cite, and the school does not publish an IB Diploma average score or a verified, itemized university-destination list on its own pages, so academic outcomes cannot be independently verified. Languages of instruction beyond English and any EAL/ESL provision are not detailed on public pages.
