I drew this search from School District 22's 2026–27 catchment map as closely as I can, so homes right on a boundary may be in or out. Always confirm the address with the SD22 school locator before you buy.
The Seaton catchment covers Harwood, Alexis Park, downtown and central Vernon, Swan Lake West, Turtle Mountain, the north side of Bella Vista and the communities up the west side of Okanagan Lake. Its feeder schools are Alexis Park and Harwood Elementary, plus French Immersion students from École Beairsto.
In the last Fraser Institute BC secondary report card (2020), Seaton rated 6.8 out of 10. No newer BC high school ratings have been published.

French Immersion, and its award-winning music, drama and musical theatre programs.
Not quite. Children who live in the catchment get priority, but School District 22 places students subject to space, and a few groups (like Okanagan Indian Band students and medical transfers) come first. Register as early as you can once you have an accepted offer, and confirm the address with the SD22 school locator before you buy.
If you're thinking about selling, I can tell you what your home is worth in today's market and how to market it to families shopping by school. Here are the questions sellers ask me most.
I'll prepare a comparative market analysis using recent sales of similar homes nearby, adjusted for your home's size, condition, updates and views. Families pay close attention to school catchments, so I'll make sure buyers know which schools your address is in. It's free and there's no obligation.

It can widen your pool of buyers, because many families search by school first. I list the catchment schools in your marketing and point buyers to the SD22 school locator so they can confirm it themselves.
Many families like to move over the summer so kids can start the school year in their new home, so spring is often busy. The right timing still depends on your plans and the market, and I'll walk you through it.
It depends on the market and your finances. Selling first gives you certainty; buying first lets you take your time. I'll help you plan the timing, including subject-to-sale offers and bridge financing options.
Commission in BC is always negotiable. My standard fee is 6% on the first $100,000 of the sale price and 3% on the balance, plus GST, shared equally with the brokerage that brings the buyer. On an $800,000 sale, for example, that's $6,000 + $21,000 = $27,000 plus GST. That covers a lot of work behind the scenes, from me and from the technology I put in place, all aimed at getting you the best price and the easiest possible sale. Your other costs are legal or notary fees and any mortgage discharge costs or penalties. In BC the buyer, not the seller, pays property transfer tax. I'll give you a net-proceeds estimate before you list.
