A Brief History
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 seven.
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 tution 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.

"Education goes beyond academic learning. Evergreen's philosophy ensures that my children learn valuable life skills such as problem solving, self responsibility and consideration of others, in addition to the required curriculum."
