​ Deroche Elementary is a small rural public school nestled at the foot of Deroche Mountain.  We are located on North Deroche Road just off the Lougheed Highway, approximately 20 minutes east of Mission.  Our students come from the surrounding areas of Deroche and Lake Errock including the bands of Leq’a:mel and Scowlitz First Nations.  Our student body is generally 85-95 students from Kindergarten to Grade 6 with 75% having Indigenous heritage. 

Unique to Deroche Elementary is our “Forest and Stream” Stewardship Program.  We are fortunate to have this amazing site on our school grounds for place-based learning.  We are also a health and wellness promoting school and have created an environment that supports healthy choices.  Our mission is to build a respectful school community and inspire lifelong learners.  We aim to provide a safe, healthy and supportive atmosphere where students can learn and grow.  We welcome new and returning families and are committed to providing a rewarding learning experience for all of our Deroche students.
