Chilliwack School District 33 (CSD33) - Sardis Secondary School

The Chilliwack School District International Student Program has been offering an outstanding educational program to students from around the globe for over 20 years. Whether here for a semester, a year, or to graduate, International students are able to choose from the same extensive and varied learning opportunities that the students of Chilliwack enjoy.

Sardis Junior High School opened its doors in the fall of 1956 with the official opening on October 23, 1956, by the Ministry of Education. Sardis began as a Grade 7 to 9 school with Grade 10, 11 and 12 being added in the following years resulting in the first Grade 12 class graduating in June 1967. Over the years Grades 7, 8, and 9 were phased out making Sardis Grade 10 to 12. Sardis Secondary quickly outgrew its facilities and a new school was built beside the existing building which was officially closed on February 14, 1995.  Again Sardis outgrew its facilities and the South Campus was added for a period of time to ease the growing population.  An addition was eventually added and the South Campus was closed. September 2018 saw the return of Grade 9 to Sardis, increasing its enrollment yet again.
