Stratford Hall

Stratford Hall offers the full International Baccalaureate continuum: the Primary Years Programme in the Junior School (K-5), the Middle Years Programme in Grades 6-10, completed with the Personal Project in Grade 10, and the IB Diploma Programme in Grades 11-12. Global programmes, service learning and outdoor experiential education complement the academic programme.

The athletics programme is supported by two full-sized gymnasiums, a climbing wall and a weight room, and students use nearby Clark Park, just across the street, and John Henry Park at Trout Lake for outdoor training and games. The campus also has a Senior School library and a rooftop garden, and bicycle parking for students who cycle to school. A campus transformation project is planning a new multi-purpose gathering space with a dining hall and professional kitchen.

Stratford Hall applies Universal Design for Learning and its Student Services team works with teachers and families when a student needs additional support, including Individual Education Plans or Student Support Plans. Learning Strategists in the Senior School help with organisation, executive functioning and study skills, and a University and Careers programme guides students toward post-secondary study. The school also offers before and after school care, camps during breaks, an optional lunch programme, two school bus routes and a financial assistance programme.

Athletics run across the year: soccer, volleyball, cross country and swimming in the fall, basketball and rock climbing in winter, plus a run club, with Grades 8-12 competing across the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. The arts programme covers music (band and performance projects), visual arts and theatre. Dozens of clubs span athletics, social justice, the arts and STEM, including Debate Club, VEX Robotics, Emerging Tech, Idea Lab, Model UN, the Arts Council and community service clubs such as Act NOW and Helping Hearts.
