Is École Banting Middle a good school?
A well-regarded dual-track SD43 middle — English plus Early French Immersion — feeding Centennial Secondary. SD43 middles aren’t Fraser-rated; the French Immersion option is the standout.

Central Coquitlam, Maillardville and Cape Horn detached (1960s–1980s) plus townhomes and condos near Lougheed/Braid SkyTrain. Varied inventory and price points.
How much do Banting catchment homes cost in 2026?
Detached $1.25M–$1.7M; townhomes and condos run lower, opening the catchment to first-time buyers.
What secondary does Banting feed?
Centennial Secondary in central Coquitlam. Confirm the specific address with SD43.
Does Banting offer French Immersion?
Yes — Banting is a dual-track school with both English and Early French Immersion programs, a primary reason families target the catchment.
École Banting Middle (820 Banting Street) sits in central Coquitlam, drawing from the Maillardville, Cape Horn and central pockets between the Mariner and Lougheed corridors. Inventory is varied: 1960s–1980s detached on good-sized lots ($1.25M–$1.7M), Maillardville character homes, and a growing supply of townhomes and condos closer to Lougheed and Braid stations that open the catchment to first-time and downsizing buyers.
Banting is a dual-track grades 6–8 school offering both an English program and Early French Immersion — its main draw for families. It feeds Centennial Secondary in central Coquitlam. The province has announced a replacement Banting building, so expect facility upgrades over the coming years.
Central Coquitlam is one of the most transit-convenient family areas in the Tri-Cities — minutes to two SkyTrain stations and Highway 1 — at prices below the premium Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau catchments. The French Immersion track is a specific pull for families who want that pathway close to home.

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.
