Welcome to Captain Meares Elementary Secondary School. We are a large school with a very small student population. Our school is located on Vancouver Island at the end of a sixty-two kilometer logging road accessed through Gold River. Our caring staff is small and offers a uniquely individualized education program. Our multi-grade classes use a combination of skill building and individualized learning opportunities. The families that come to Tahsis enjoy the beautiful landscape at the end of a long ocean fiord. The relaxed and inexpensive life is a draw to many people who make Tahsis their home.
Our school building renovations are completed and students will be able to attend brand new upgraded classrooms this September. There is also a brand new early years playground completed this August available for school and community use.
Please call us for more information if you are thinking of relocating to Tahsis and if you have school age children. Enrolment information can be found at the front office.
Important Notes:
Cell Phone Use: The BC Government has mandated cell phone restrictions during instructional time for the entire province. The restrictions are meant to create a safe and productive learning environment. This September 2024, cell phone use during instructional time (bell to bell) is not permitted at Captain Meares Elementary Secondary School. (See Code of Conduct).

Take care
I have had a wonderful 8 years working with the Captain Meares students and the school community in Tahsis BC – but it is time to move on. I am excited to return to the very place I began my School District 84 journey – Kyuquot Elementary Secondary School. I am looking forward to starting a brand new journey as principal in one of the most amazing communities on the West Coast. I know the Tahsis community will be in good hands with Natalie Dickson who will beginning here in September. Have a warm and safe summer and an amazing new school year.
Mr. Baron
