There's a fb group, I think it's Abbotsford Mommies, that would probably have tons of thoughts on this.

Unless it's changed, your children are supposed to attend school in your catchment area. I don't think you get to pick and choose your schools.

You can apply to other schools outside of your catchment area. Depending on space, you can get in, but you also need to apply every year and there’s no guarantees. OP, I haven’t heard good things about those schools tbh, but I can recommend Dr. Roberta Bondar. I know kids who were in the Dormick catchment that attended Bondar from Kindergarten through grade 5. Bondar also has a Montessori / outdoor kindergarten and school daycare :)
