The History of Evergreen  
 

Evergreen Independent School was established in 1983 by a group of families looking for
an alternative learning environment for their children. In the first year there were seven students in kindergarten and grade one. The school now enrolls students from
kindergarten to grade eight. Some of the founding teachers and parents are still
involved with the school today.

Evergreen's growth has been slow and controlled from its beginnings to the
present day. A commitment to the original philosophy has remained
central to the school.

Evergreen Independent School is a Group 1 funded independent school
and functions financially by way of student tuition and government
subsidy.

The goals and objectives established by the Ministry of
Education of the Province of BC are met and surpassed
by our school.
