Southridge School is a K-12 private school in South Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. It is a regional school, serving from as far away as Richmond and Ladner, though most students are from the White Rock, South Surrey area.
The school has two permanent buildings (Junior School building and Senior School building), two gymnasiums, two libraries, one computer lab, multiple science labs, an auditorium and four athletic fields (including one FieldTurf field). The construction of Southridge was funded by private donations, largely from parents. Although construction was initially opposed by abutters, amidst claims of potential property devaluation, it was eventually approved by the town board in 1993.
Southridge School follows the International Baccalaureate curriculum in the Junior school, through the Primary Years and Middle Years programs. In the Senior school, Southridge follows the typical British Columbian 8-12 curriculum, including: English, Physics, Chemistry and Biology (taught with British Columbia standards), as well as AP courses in these fields as well as in History, Literature and Calculus. Southridge was ranked by the Fraser Institute in 2014 as 3 out of 289 British Columbian Secondary Schools.
The School Arts program includes Music, Fine Arts, Media Arts, and Drama. Achievements by the school include multiple wins and nominations at Zoomfest, a local film competition, as well as multiple Concert Band Festival Awards. The school also hosts an annual Arts Auction.
