Programs

Fraser Heights Secondary offers a wide variety of academic, athletic, and fine arts programs that have gained high acclaim across the Lower Mainland. Fraser Heights is a branch school to the late French immersion programs offered at Fraser Wood Elementary and Erma Stephenson Elementary.

The Fraser Heights senior badminton team captured the school’s first provincial AAA title by winning the 2012 provincial championships in competition with private school powerhouses Vancouver College and Little Flower Academy. The senior badminton team then won the provincial championships again in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. The volleyball program has also grown to acclaim in past years, with a combined fourteen Surrey championships and three Fraser Valley championships and is consistently ranked in the Top 3 Senior Boys AAA provincial rankings.

One of Fraser Heights’s academic programs is a joint venture with Simon Fraser University called Science Academy. It is an all-year course extending over a period of two years, from grade 11 to grade 12. The course combines Pre-Calc 12, AP Calculus BC, Chemistry 11 and 12, Physics 11 and 12, AP Physics I and II, and a choice between Chemistry and Computer Science at Simon Fraser University. Moreover, Fraser Heights offers a variety of advanced placement courses, including honours courses in math, science, and liberal arts.
