The Moody Middle catchment is one of the most-searched school boundaries in Port Moody. This page covers what homes actually look like inside the boundary, the current price band and time-on-market, how the boundaries work, and what to verify before you write an offer.
Quick answers
What does Moody Middle feed into?
Port Moody Secondary — home of SD43’s only IB Diploma Programme. Moody Middle is the central-Port-Moody Grade 6–8 bridge.
What homes are in the Moody Middle catchment?
A wide mix — newer condos and townhomes near Moody Centre and Suter Brook, plus established detached in Glenayre. Entry from the high $700Ks (condo) up past $2M (detached).
How much do homes cost in this catchment?
A broad band of roughly $700K to $2.0M depending on type and location — one of the more accessible strong-school catchments in the Tri-Cities.
Can I get into the IB pathway affordably here?
Yes — a Moody Centre or Suter Brook condo puts you in the Port Moody Secondary pathway at a far lower entry price than Heritage Mountain detached. IB admission is application-based, though.
Which elementaries feed Moody Middle?
Primarily Moody Elementary and Glenayre Elementary. Verify the specific address with SD43.
The Moody Middle catchment spans central Port Moody, so the housing mix is unusually wide for a single catchment: newer condos and townhomes around Moody Centre and Suter Brook near the SkyTrain, established detached in Glenayre, and everything between. That range means entry points from the high $700Ks for a condo up past $2M for detached.
The draw is the destination: Moody Middle bridges to Port Moody Secondary, home of SD43’s only IB Diploma Programme. For families who want the IB option with transit at the door, this is one of the most flexible-priced catchments in the Tri-Cities.
Moody Middle is the central-Port-Moody Grade 6–8 school, taking students from the Moody Centre and Glenayre elementaries and bridging them to Port Moody Secondary. It offers a solid middle-years program with arts and athletics, in a walkable, transit-rich setting.
Because the catchment housing is so diverse, Moody Middle draws a broader cross-section of students than the detached-only mountain catchments — something many families value.
This is the catchment for buyers who want the Port Moody Secondary / IB pathway without the Heritage Mountain detached premium. A Moody Centre or Suter Brook condo gets you into the pathway at a far lower entry price than a mountain-side home — rare for a strong-school area.
What to verify: confirm the specific address feeds Moody Middle and continues to Port Moody Secondary, and remember IB admission at the secondary is application-based, not guaranteed by catchment. Pull SD43’s tool before you write.

Four things I tell every family chasing a specific catchment — learned the hard way over years of these searches.
Listing descriptions are wrong often enough to matter. Pull SD43’s catchment map for the specific house, every time.
Morning rush traffic and parking around the school is the real test of the neighbourhood, not the Sunday open house.
If one child is enrolled, siblings usually get priority — but it’s a soft rule, not a guarantee. Call the school directly.
Catchment-chasing is a multi-year hold, not a flip. Budget the home around the K–12 pathway, not this year’s grade.

Most families think in K–12 pathways, not single schools. These are the catchments and neighbourhood pages that usually pair with this one.
What secondary does Moody Middle feed?
Port Moody Secondary, which runs SD43’s only IB Diploma Programme. Moody Middle bridges the central-Port-Moody elementaries to it.
Is the Moody Middle catchment affordable?
Relatively, for a strong-school area — condos near Moody Centre and Suter Brook start in the high $700Ks, well below Heritage Mountain detached, while still feeding the Port Moody Secondary pathway.
Does living here guarantee an IB spot?
No. IB admission at Port Moody Secondary is application-based and competitive; the catchment gets you to the school but not automatically into IB. Plan ahead in the middle years.
Which elementaries feed Moody Middle?
Primarily Moody Elementary and Glenayre Elementary. Confirm the specific address with SD43, as edges can vary.
Is this a good catchment for condo buyers?
Yes — it’s one of the few strong-school catchments where a transit-adjacent condo is a realistic entry point. Just review strata documents carefully on older buildings.
