Students and families are one step closer to having a new elementary school with construction starting in the Township of Langley’s Willoughby Heights area.

Schools throughout B.C. will get a boost now that more funding is available for upgrades.

The Province has approved funding for a new Conseil scolaire francophone de la Colombie-Britannique (CSF) kindergarten-to-Grade 6 elementary school to meet the growing enrolment needs of the region’s francophone community. 

Twelve new school additions will mean more student spaces as early as the 2024-25 school year in fast-growing communities across the province.

Francophone families in Pemberton will have a new school for K-12 students and a permanent home for École La Vallée to support existing and forecast enrolment growth.

Students throughout B.C. will soon be learning in safer, improved schools now that more funding is available to school districts.

A new, energy-efficient elementary school is coming to the South Newton neighbourhood, giving hundreds of Surrey students a modern place to go to school as more education investments are made to support one of B.C.’s fastest-growing cities.
