Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School is a public secondary school located in Vancouver, British Columbia.[2] Churchill Secondary is one of three International Baccalaureate schools (along with Britannia Secondary School and King George Secondary School)[3][4] and one of three French immersion secondary schools in Vancouver.[5] It is named after Winston Churchill, the former prime minister of the United Kingdom.[6][4] Churchill has the largest student body population in district 39 with about 2000 students in the campus.

Jamieson Elementary School, Sir William Osler Elementary School, J.W. Sexsmith Elementary School, and David Lloyd George Elementary School. Although not within Churchill's catchment area, L'École Bilingue, Kerrisdale Elementary School, L'École Quilchena and Sir James Douglas Elementary School feed into its French immersion program.
