Go to child profileBrockton is a co-ed, JK to Grade 12, IB Continuum World School located in beautiful North Vancouver. Brockton embraces a uniquely authentic and inclusive culture in an inspired community where student learning and personal experience are paramount. The program is challenging, innovative, and holistic and integrates an array of co-curricular, leadership, service, and character-development opportunities. Brockton is a place where every student (and every family) is known, welcomed, respected, and valued.
Families rightly turn to Brockton for strong academics, and it certainly has that, undergirded by the IB program. But families turn to private school for other reasons as well, prime among them an environment in which students enter a community of peers of a like mind, and who are academically inclined, and Brockton offers that as well. Even more importantly though is an aspect of the school that perhaps parents don’t think to first, though they should, and that’s the opportunity to have authentic experience with a range of endeavor that they wouldn’t otherwise. The community of the Brockton School is close-knit, while the academic and extracurricular programs are broad. No, it’s not always easy to try new things, and the school is cognizant of the barriers to participation, anticipates them, and seeks to provide a sympathetic introduction. The ideal student is one able to thrive in a vibrant, active, supportive yet challenging academic environment.
Some private schools offer International Baccalaureate (IB) programming. The "Diploma Programme" is offered to students in the final two years of high school, while the "Primary Years Programme" (ages 3 to 12) and "Middle Years Programme" (ages 11 to 16) serve as preparation for the diploma program.

Head of School Welcome

Imagine a school where parents, teachers and students collaborate to ensure that the students have the best possible educational adventure. Imagine Brockton!
As you look through our website I hope that you will get a sense of what it means to be part of the Brockton Community. Brockton is a safe, caring environment where students are challenged academically through a broad and balanced curriculum which surpasses the expectations of the International Baccalaureate and British Columbia Education Ministry requirements. The academic programme is complemented by our Exploration, Discovery and World Music Ensemble. Our students are encouraged to participate in a wide range of sporting, artistic and musical activities. These co-curricular programs embrace all aspects of school life and demonstrate our excellent links with our local and global communities.
As an International Baccalaureate World School we are able to embrace the concepts of 21st century learning. We provide challenging programs in a culture of inquiry and foster the importance of giving service to others. At Brockton we encourage all students to achieve their true potential by being active learners and global citizens.
Students at Brockton don’t simply come to school, they embark on an educational adventure where they are encouraged to take risks and inquire about the world around them. I am really proud to be the Head of Brockton School. It is an honour to lead a truly dedicated and highly trained staff and to serve the families of the Brockton Community. I would like you to be able to experience everything that is brilliant about Brockton. I welcome you all to come and see what makes our school so special.
