The Elgin Park Secondary catchment is widely considered one of the most desirable residential areas in British Columbia. Home to the "Home of the Orcas," this district seamlessly blends high-ranking academics with an unparalleled West Coast lifestyle. From the historic estates of Elgin Chantrell to the seaside cottages of Crescent Beach, real estate here offers a unique sense of privacy and prestige.
Why Elgin Park Secondary Stands Out
Consistently ranked as one of the top public schools in the province by the Fraser Institute, Elgin Park Secondary is known for fostering a "culture of excellence."
Advanced Placement (AP) Courses: Motivated students can challenge themselves with AP Calculus, Art, and Computer Science to earn early university credits.
Award-Winning Fine Arts: The school is nationally recognized for its world-traveling music programs, jazz bands, and film & television department.
Championship Athletics: With a strong "Orca" pride, the school frequently hangs banners for rugby, basketball, volleyball, and track and field.
Science & Humanities Co-ops: Elgin offers specialized "Co-op" programs that allow Grade 11 students to gain hands-on, experiential learning in the community.
The Neighborhood & Lifestyle
Living in this catchment provides access to some of South Surrey’s most iconic landmarks:
Crescent Beach: A short drive or bike ride leads you to the ocean, local bistros, and the scenic gravel paths of Blackie Spit.
Dogwood & Chantrell Park: Massive green spaces and trail systems are woven directly into the residential neighborhoods.
The "Acreage" Feel: This zone is famous for its "urban forest" atmosphere, featuring multi-million dollar luxury estates on half-acre and one-acre lots.
