Willoughby — Schools

School District 35 (Langley). R.E. Mountain Secondary, at 7633 202A Street in a building opened in 2019, serves Willoughby today. The International Baccalaureate is a District program that accepts students from beyond the R.E. Mountain catchment.

From September 2027 the Willoughby Slope splits between two secondaries, and School District 35 has already published which chain every elementary follows. Willoughby Elementary goes to Yorkson Creek Middle, then Emery Dosdall Secondary. Lynn Fripps and Richard Bulpitt both go to stɑtl̓əw̓ Middle, then Emery Dosdall. Donna Gabriel Robins splits down the middle: the east side to stɑtl̓əw̓ Middle and Emery Dosdall, the west side to Peter Ewart Middle and R.E. Mountain. Josette Dandurand feeds Yorkson Creek Middle and R.E. Mountain, while Langley Meadows and R.C. Garnett Demonstration go through Peter Ewart Middle to R.E. Mountain.

Two details in that decision matter to a family part-way through school. A student entering Grade 12 at R.E. Mountain in September 2027 stays there to graduate, but younger siblings are not grandfathered with them, and the district says it will look at hardship cases individually through the existing cross-boundary process. The other is that Emery Dosdall is to get its own Pre-IB programme in Grades 9 and 10, which gives eastern Willoughby a second route into the stream rather than one. Both come from the district letter of May 1, 2026 at sd35.bc.ca, and the school locator remains the thing to check against a specific address.
