School review information
Seycove Secondary is a community-centric school that punches above its weight in innovative education, offering standout programs like PLP and Rowing in a picturesque, tight-knit neighborhood setting.
Editorial review summary
Parent reviews highlight Seycove's tight-knit, safe, and friendly community in the Deep Cove neighborhood. The Performance Learning Program (PLP) receives immense praise, with parents noting that its hands-on, project-based approach has reignited their children's love for learning and even helped students with learning differences excel. Parents are highly engaged and protective of the school's culture; they famously rallied to save PLP courses from budget cuts and successfully protested the introduction of an external elite hockey academy due to transparency and behavioral concerns. Some parents note that the school's smaller size can mean fewer elective options, but the strong community feel makes up for it.
Common positives
- Innovative Performance Learning Program (PLP) offering project-based, tech-integrated education.
- Unique athletic offerings including a Rowing Academy and a robust Outdoor Education program.
- Strong, highly engaged parent community and tight-knit student body.
- Beautiful location in Deep Cove, providing excellent environmental and outdoor learning opportunities.
- Robust Fine Arts department with choir, jazz band, and theatre.
Common concerns
- Recent decline in Fraser Institute academic rating (dropped from 7.6 to 6.3).
- Smaller student population (~600 students) may result in fewer elective course options compared to larger high schools.
- Specialized programs like PLP have occasionally faced funding and enrollment challenges.
- Traffic and parking around the Deep Cove area can be highly congested, especially during warmer months.
Who this school may fit
Best suited for curious, self-motivated students who thrive in project-based learning environments, as well as those passionate about outdoor sports, rowing, or the arts. It is ideal for families seeking a smaller, highly engaged school community.
