BC school catchment buyer guides
Per-school catchment and programs guides for 8 high-search-volume Lower Mainland secondaries. Each guide names the catchment area, the application streams (Mini School, IB Diploma, French Immersion, Arts, Athletics), the feeder elementary pattern, and how the catchment shapes a buying decision. Verify every per-address catchment against the live school-district lookup tool before paying a school-catchment premium.
