Saanich is home to three middle schools.

Middle schools in BC typically accept students from grades 6, 7 and 8 who are 12-14 years of age.

Royal Oak is an inclusive and vibrant community of learners where each member of the
school community is engaged both socially and intellectually. School community members
demonstrate a sense of ownership and strive to maintain a safe and caring culture where
everyone has the opportunity to reach their potential as a learner and as a person.

At North Saanich Middle School we are committed to supporting every student as each
strives to reach his/her potential and by providing every student with the opportunity to learn
in a caring and respectful middle school environment.

Bayside Middle School is a beautifully and uniquely designed school in the heart of
Brentwood Bay. We house grades 6, 7 and 8. We are very fortunate to have such an
amazing building in a huge natural setting. The students benefit from being able to move
around the property for learning and for fun. Our student population is diverse with just over
a third of the students studying in the French Immersion program and about a tenth of the
students having SENCOTEN as their choice of a second language course. We make it a
priority to have our approximately 540 students learn about the various cultures both within
the building and the surrounding community.
