COMMUNITY SCHOOLS
There are seven community schools within the Burnaby School District: Edmonds, Gilmore, Lochdale, Maywood, Second Street, Stoney Creek,and Stride Avenue.
Community schools are regular schools with special belief in, and emphasis on, the value of 
community involvement. Each community school also has a coordinator who works on many of the special offerings and programs within the community school. A community school can become the neighbourhood hub, a centre where students, staff, families, residents, agencies and local businesses work together to build a strong and caring community. It is an accessible place where people find support, ideas and new friends. Community schools offer a variety of programs and services to meet the specific educational, recreational and social needs of the area it serves.
