Evergreen Independent School was established in 1983 by a group of families looking for an alternative learning environment for their children. In the first year there were seven students in kindergarten and grade one. The school now enrolls students from kindergarten to grade eight. Some of the founding teachers and parents are still involved with the school today. Evergreen's growth has been slow and controlled from its beginnings to the present day.

The goals and objectives established by the Ministry of Education of the Province of BC are met and surpassed by our school. more... See more text
