School review information
Earl Marriott Secondary is a vibrant, culturally rich, and athletically dominant school with a massive French Immersion program, though it grapples with the typical Surrey challenges of aging infrastructure and rapid population growth.
Editorial review summary
Parent and student reviews highlight a strong sense of community and praise the dedicated teaching staff. The school's location in South Surrey, close to White Rock beach, is frequently mentioned as a major plus. However, overcrowding is a persistent complaint, with the school historically having to use split schedules or extended days to accommodate the growing population. Some reviews mention an aging building where it's easy to get lost. Additionally, local forums note a distinct 'party culture' among some student groups, though many emphasize that a student's experience largely depends on their chosen peer group and involvement in the school's excellent sports or arts programs.

- One of the oldest and largest French Immersion programs in Western Canada [1.2].
- Elite athletics programs, particularly in rugby (producing national team players) and volleyball.
- Unique Co-op programs (Science/Humanities and Mechanical/Trades) providing real-world experience.
- Vibrant performing arts scene, featuring the 280-seat Wheelhouse Community Theatre.
