About Our Schools
New ¹ú²ú¸»¶þ´ú has been providing a quality public education to our residents since the 1920’s. The New Westminster School District is committed to ensuring that our students become self-assured and self-sufficient adults who are wise, caring, creative and flexible and able to live successfully in an ever changing environment.
New Westminster is a small city and home to a broad mix of ethnic and socio-economic groups, leading to a unique diversity and vibrancy within our schools. From kindergarten through to grade 12, classrooms at New ¹ú²ú¸»¶þ´ú boast innovative learning and academic excellence, as well as co-curricular opportunities (activities, programs, and learning experiences that complement what students are learning in school) for our learners.
We deliver a wide range of programs and services offering Kindergarten to Grade 12 instruction through classroom, home and programs. Our district has one secondary school, eight elementary and three middle schools.
In addition to our 12 schools in the District, we are proud to have three Youth Alternate Programs: Sigma, offering flexible academic programming for students age 16-18; Power Alternate Secondary School with innovative and unique learning opportunities; and Royal City Alternate Program, supporting transition to both regular and alternate high school programs for students aged 13 to 15. We also offer opportunities.
