Overview
Each year, we look forward to welcoming young learners and their families to the North Vancouver School District (NVSD).
A parent or guardian can register their child for Kindergarten if, on or before December 31 of that school year, the student has reached the age of 5 years. For example, for the 2026-2027 school year, the student must be 5 years of age prior to December 31, 2026. In other words, the child would have been born in 2021.
Placement confirmation and information will be communicated through email or phone from the assigned school. Students registered during initial registration will receive notice of placement by the end of May. Students registered after initial registration will receive notice of placement at the end of August of the upcoming school year.
Visit the Kindergarten web page for more information and resources.

IB schools are catchment schools. If your catchment school is Queen Mary, Capilano or Norgate, please select this as your school. You can include your second or third choice schools (that are within your Family of Schools) in the comment box.
