Quick Facts

The approximately 69,300 students enrolled in independent schools in 2009-2010 represent 11% of all elementary and secondary school enrollment in BC.

While educating 11% of all students enrolled in BC elementary and secondary schools, independent schools receive only 5% of grants the provincial budget allocates toward operating costs of schools. The maximum grant to an independent school is 1/2 the per pupil grant to a public school.
