School review information
Windsor Secondary is a dynamic, well-rounded school that masterfully balances solid academics with elite athletic training. It is the quintessential 'student-athlete' high school in North Vancouver, anchored by its signature Hockey and Soccer Academies and enriched by a strong French Immersion track.
Editorial review summary
Parents and community members highly praise Windsor Secondary for its inclusive, community-oriented atmosphere and exceptional sports academies. The Hockey and Soccer Academies are frequently highlighted as major draws, though parents note they come with significant extra fees (ranging from $1,900 to nearly $3,000) and require early application. The school's 'Windsor Bubble' and turf fields are well-regarded, especially with recent community upgrades. Reviewers also appreciate the strong music program and French Immersion track. Some feedback suggests that because the school is so sports-focused, students who are not athletically inclined might need to seek out specific clubs like the Interact Club or Model UN to find their niche.
Common positives
- Premier specialized sports programs including a Hockey Canada-licensed Hockey Skills Academy and a Soccer Academy.
- Offers a comprehensive and well-established French Immersion program.
- Strong extracurriculars including a highly regarded Music Program (Chamber Choir, Strings, Band) and active clubs like Interact and Model UN.
- Excellent athletic facilities, including the 'Windsor Bubble' indoor facility and an upgraded artificial turf field.
- Consistent, above-average academic performance with Advanced Placement (AP) course offerings.
Common concerns
- Specialized sports academies require substantial additional fees ($1,900 - $2,900+) and have strict application deadlines.
- Out-of-district students face additional programming fees and potential waitlists for academy placements.
- The heavy emphasis on athletics might overshadow purely academic or niche arts pursuits for some students.
- Older sections of the school building show their age, despite ongoing facility upgrades.
Who this school may fit
Highly recommended for student-athletes, particularly those passionate about hockey or soccer who want to integrate elite training into their daily school schedule. It is also an excellent fit for families seeking a strong French Immersion program and a spirited, community-focused high school experience.
