Schools Near Willowbrook, Langley: Which School Serves Which Address, and the 2027 Changes

Nobody sorts Willowbrook children into one school. The City-Township line runs through the district, school boundaries ignore it, and two neighbouring blocks can lead to different middle and secondary schools. So the rule is simple: pick the address first, then ask the district which school it belongs to. The School Locator takes a minute, and the district office (604-534-7891) will help if you’re on a boundary.

Which public schools serve the Willowbrook area?

Two “school families” meet here. On the Township side, the usual route is an elementary school, then Peter Ewart Middle, then R.E. Mountain Secondary. On the City side, it runs through H.D. Stafford Middle to Langley Secondary.

Several of those catchment maps are older than two years (the district still links a 2017 R.C. Garnett map and 2024 City maps). The locator is the one to trust.

Are the schools full?

SD35’s October 2026 update says nearly all Willoughby Slope schools are at capacity. The new seats at Nicomekl and Peter Ewart helped, and R.E. Mountain’s addition is still more than two years off. We couldn’t confirm current portable counts or operating capacity at most of these schools, so the honest advice is to ask the school office or look at the district’s long range facilities plan.

For the Langley-wide basics (registration, catchment rules, transfers), see our Langley schools guide and the district directory page.

What programs are on offer?

• IB: R.E. Mountain runs the International Baccalaureate in Grades 11 and 12, with separate Pre-IB and IB application pages. Live in the catchment and you still apply.
• Fine arts and technology: H.D. Stafford describes technology, home arts and fine arts options, and Langley Secondary lists AP Art 12 in visual arts.
• French immersion and other choice programs: These are district programs with their own registration. See our French immersion guide and ask SD35 which placements apply to your address.
• School data: each school’s Ministry page has report data (pick the year before comparing). SD35 publishes Action Plans for Learning for school context. The Fraser Institute’s 2025 elementary report card is a think-tank ranking with its own method, and it isn’t a catchment map. We don’t rank schools.

Walking to school

Langley Meadows Community School sits inside its own neighbourhood, with park and trail links nearby, which is why Langley Meadows works for walking families. East of 200 Street, R.C. Garnett is north of 68 Avenue, so the walk from the 64 to 68 Avenue pocket crosses that avenue. The Township recorded funding for a 68 Avenue and 201 Street pedestrian crossing project in 2022, but we couldn’t confirm its present condition. Walk the route yourself, at school-run time, and check crossings, lighting and any detours.

Independent schools and options nearby

Admissions and openings need a direct enquiry. Our independent schools guide covers the wider list. Post-secondary is a short drive: see Kwantlen Polytechnic’s Langley campus and Trinity Western University.

Preschool, StrongStart and child care

Langley Meadows Community School runs a StrongStart at 2244 Willoughby Way (birth to five, with a caregiver; morning and afternoon sessions on the school’s calendar). Fraser Health’s July 2026 licensed-facility list includes these nearby sites. A licence capacity isn’t the number of open spaces.

We couldn’t confirm waitlist lengths or vacancies. Willowbrook Montessori and Jellybean Park take enquiries directly, and the Fraser Health inspection database shows a facility’s record. More in our preschools and childcare guide.
