Stratford Hall is east Vancouver’s coeducational, nondenominational<br />

K-12 school and an <strong>IB</strong> <strong>World</strong> School.<br />

Our commitment to the <strong>IB</strong> places us amongst the world’s<br />

top schools. We were the first in western Canada authorized to<br />

deliver the <strong>IB</strong> Primary Years Programme, and are one of very<br />

few schools in Canada to offer all the <strong>IB</strong> programmes<br />

exclusively from kindergarten to grade 12. This commitment<br />

supports a school culture focused on international<br />

mindedness and preparing students for a complex world.<br />

Our location and real connection to Vancouver set us apart.<br />

Situated on Commercial Drive, Stratford Hall is minutes from<br />

Vancouver amenities. Access to public transit, including the<br />

nearby SkyTrain, gives older students significant freedom. Our<br />

central location and direct connection with our neighbourhood<br />

make us an urban school. Our PYP building was purpose-built<br />

for inquiry-based and collaborative learning.<br />

Stratford Hall’s academics are geared to the highest<br />

standards of university admission. Our experiential courses<br />

have been designed to expose students to outdoor education,<br />

physical education, planning and performing arts. We offer<br />

Spanish from kindergarten and French from grade 7.<br />

Mandarin is also available.<br />

Stratford Hall’s co-curricular programming is strong; our<br />

teams compete in school leagues and a variety of special<br />

interest clubs engage students. Our students also participate<br />

in a comprehensive outdoor education program starting in<br />

grade 4. Students are able to take advantage of the west coast<br />

opportunities by participating in activities such as sailing,<br />

swimming, skiing, snowshoeing, kayaking and camping.<br />

Our program is unique and our location is special. However,<br />

what characterizes the Stratford Hall experience most is the<br />

strong sense of community you will feel.<br />

We invite you to explore our website and welcome your visit<br />
