About St. John Brebeuf High School

St. John Brebeuf High School is located in the western region of Abbotsford, just off the highway at the Mt. Lehman exit. Tucked up against Gardner Park and Fishtrap Creek, SJB is within walking distance to Fishtrap Creek Trail and Discovery Trail. SJB is close to shopping and transit, and biking and hiking trails abound. The famous Tulip Festival takes place in Abbotsford just past Whatcom Road, along Highway 1, and Abbotsford is also the home of the Vancouver Canucks farm team. Abbotsford is one of the most affordable communities in the Lower Mainland of BC.

SJB is a community of approximately 400 students from Grades 8‑12. We are a small school, when compared to other schools in our area, allowing for a more personal experience for our students. SJB prides itself on faith formation of our students, and opportunities to deepen faith are plentiful. We focus our efforts on educating our students academically, emotionally, physically, and spiritually, and are proud of the character of our SJB graduates. Go Bears!
