Welcome to MEI!
Message from the Head of Schools
I am thrilled to be a part of the MEI Team! This is a wonderful place to serve and to raise our children together with colleagues and friends. MEI was my school from grades 8 until graduation in 1991 and I can tell you that returning in 2016 truly felt like coming home.
My hope and prayer for you is that you will find a place to belong in our community; a place where you can serve and find purpose that aligns within God’s calling on your life and the gifts that He has given to you.
May God guide and protect you, and make you a blessing for many during your season at MEI Schools.
In HIS love,
Vijay Manuel

Who We Are
The mission of MEI Schools, in cooperation with the home and our supporting churches, is to equip young people to live a life of excellence through service to God’s kingdom and society as faithful disciples of Christ.
Strategic Plan
The MEI Strategic Plan 2024 – 2029 was developed over the course of the 2023/2024 school year including sessions and/or feedback from the following groups: the Board of Directors, Senior Lead Team, Teacher Leaders of the Education Consortium, K – 12 PAC Executives, all Staff, all Parents, and Lead Pastors from Member Churches of the MEI Society. Data from these sources was collated by the Senior Lead Team to identify themes of focus for the coming 5 years. These themes or goals were then presented to the MEI Board of Directors on March 12, 2024, receiving formal approval. The approved MEI Strategic Plan 2024 – 2029 was next presented to the MEI Staff at our annual Kick-Off event on August 28, 2024, and then publicly launched on October 15th, 2024.
The Campus
Over the years, MEI Schools has continued to grow in physical size and student enrollment. Our campuses and facilities provide an environment where students want to be, and give them the competitive edge and tools they need to optimize the learning process.
MEI Schools is located just north of Abbotsford’s city center in the heart of BC’s Fraser Valley, against the backdrop of BC’s Coastal Mountains. The 18-acre campus offers kindergarten to grade twelve instruction, with programs such as Preschool, MEI International, and Hockey Academy.
