École Cedardale is no longer able to accept applications for Kindergarten and Grade 1 for the 2022-2023 school year. We continue to accept applications for grades 2 – 7 for the 2022-2023 school year, but have extremely limited availability in primary grades.  Please contact the school office directly for more information.

In order for your child to be included in the EFI PYP Kindergarten lottery for September 2023 entry, all documentation must be received before 3pm on Wednesday, November 30, 2022. No exceptions will be made.

Current students do not need to re-apply

Due to the strong demand for this program of choice, West Vancouver School District will conduct a lottery in early December 2022 to identify those children who will be registered for Early French Immersion IB PYP Kindergarten in September 2023.

The registration will follow Ministry guidelines and Board policy. Any applications missing required documentation as of the close of the lottery will not be included in the lottery.

Students may be included in both the lottery for EFI IB PYP at École Cedardale and the lottery for regular EFI at École Pauline Johnson, provided both schools are selected as prioritized school choices on the online application form.
