About Southridge School
Southridge is co-ed, K-12 independent day school located in South Surrey, BC. We develop well-rounded students with the love of learning, character, and confidence to make the world a better place.
Founded in 1995, Southridge is one of British Columbia's most respected independent coeducational schools. The dynamic Kindergarten through Grade 12 experience takes place on a beautiful 17-acre campus – only minutes from the sunny beaches of White Rock – featuring more than 100,000 square feet of first-class school facilities.
At Southridge, we believe that a well-rounded education isn't just about academics. Our K-12 curriculum provides opportunities for authentic, experiential learning and our programs and culture foster the development of leadership, character and skills that enable our students to realize their full potential. While nearly 100% of our graduates enroll in a 4-year university degree program, we believe what's important is that our students graduate with the skills and character to confidently step out into the world and make it a better place.
That's why we place equal emphasis on character development and academic learning – and why our curriculum and culture emphasize independent critical thinking, experiential learning, and service to others.
We are a light-hearted place of serious purpose, where every spirit can soar.
