School District Home Search in Surrey

Every September, parents across Surrey scramble to figure out which school their kids will attend. In Surrey, your home address determines your catchment school. That means the house you buy directly affects your child's education. AG. Song helps families find homes inside the catchment zones that matter most to them.

Surrey is served by School District 36, the largest school district in BC with over 78,000 students and more than 130 schools. School quality varies by neighbourhood.
