Quick take
Kerrisdale Annex is an excellent, nurturing starting point for young learners in the Kerrisdale catchment. Its small size, dedicated staff, and beautiful outdoor setting next to Malkin Park provide a gentle and highly supportive introduction to the public school system. While students will have to transition to the main Kerrisdale Elementary for Grade 3, the strong community ties and active PAC ensure this process is seamless and well-supported.
Public parent reviews for Kerrisdale Annex are limited, but available community signals and school plans indicate a highly positive, tight-knit environment. Parents appreciate the small, intimate setting (around 70-80 students) where staff know every child's name, creating a 'home away from home' feel. The active Parent Advisory Council (PAC) is frequently praised for organizing events and fostering a strong connection with the main Kerrisdale Elementary campus. The proximity to Malkin Park and the school's emphasis on outdoor learning are also major highlights for families.
Highly recommended for families in the Kerrisdale catchment looking for a gentle, community-focused introduction to elementary school for their Kindergarten to Grade 2 children. Parents who value outdoor learning, early literacy support, and a close-knit environment will find this annex particularly appealing.

Internal assessments and the Early Development Instrument (EDI) are used to track student progress and vulnerability, with a strong emphasis on integrating Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) alongside core academics.

Fraser Institute · 2026 report
The rating dataset used here covers 2024-2025. The five-year average belongs to that historical report, not the five years ending today.
Academic ratings do not capture the whole school experience, including belonging, support, or fit for your child. A nearby care provider does not necessarily offer school pickup; confirm with the provider.
