SD43 Mandarin Bilingual Program at Walton Elementary

Coquitlam School District's Mandarin Bilingual Program of Choice delivers about half the B.C. curriculum in Mandarin and half in English. Elementary entry is at Walton Elementary (2960 Walton Avenue), with continuation through Scott Creek Middle and Gleneagle Secondary.

Families apply during the district Programs of Choice window rather than treating Walton as a neighbourhood default. For 2026-27, the published application window was a short January stretch, so calendar watching matters.

Use this when you want a public 50/50 Mandarin pathway in the Tri-Cities with a clear K-12 ladder. Confirm the current year's dates before you plan around last year's window.
