Elementary Schools

Dr. A.E. Perry School serves parts of Eastbrook and the surrounding southeast area with a K–8 program. It's a public school, and it's one of the primary catchment schools for the neighbourhood. Perry draws families who want a neighbourhood school they can walk to, and it's got that feel—accessible, integrated into the community. You'll want to verify the exact catchment boundaries when you're looking at a specific address, though, because not every part of Eastbrook falls under Perry's zone.

St. Elizabeth School is the Catholic elementary option nearby. If you're sending your kids through the Catholic system, St. Elizabeth serves families in and around Eastbrook. Catholic enrolment works a bit differently than public—you'll need to confirm your family's eligibility and registration process with Regina Catholic Schools.

Both schools feed into larger high school systems, so you've got choices down the road. The thing parents sometimes miss is that catchment areas do shift, and new subdivisions sometimes sit in transition zones for a year or two while enrolment is being sorted out. When you're seriously looking at homes in Eastbrook, I recommend calling the school directly to confirm which catchment you're in. No rush, no pressure—it's just one conversation that saves confusion later.

High Schools

Families in Eastbrook typically have two strong options: Campbell Collegiate (public) and Dr. Martin LeBoldus Catholic High School (Catholic).

Campbell Collegiate is in southeast Regina and serves the broader east end. It's got a solid reputation, offers Advanced Placement (AP) courses, and has competitive athletic programs. The commute from Eastbrook isn't brutal—it's a few kilometres—but it's not a walk-to-school situation like elementary might be.

Dr. Martin LeBoldus serves Catholic families and offers a full range of programs, including International Baccalaureate (IB), which is a big draw for some families. Again, you'll want to verify catchment, but both schools are accessible from Eastbrook.

The honest thing I'll tell you: Eastbrook isn't in a super-tight catchment for either school, so you've got a bit of flexibility, but you'll also likely be looking at bus routes or drive time. That's pretty standard for southeast Regina, but it's worth factoring into your decision.

Childcare and Early Learning

Eastbrook's got a mix of options, and this is where I usually see families make their first real decision point. You've got home daycares scattered through the neighbourhood—some licensed, some not—and you've also got proximity to larger childcare centres in the broader southeast area.

Licensed spots are the golden ticket, but they're also the hardest to find. Waitlists in Regina can stretch months, so if you're planning a move and you've got young kids, you'll want to start your search early. Like, before you even put in an offer early.

I won't sugarcoat it: childcare is tight in Regina right now. Eastbrook doesn't have a major centre right in the neighbourhood, but you're close enough to options in the southeast that you've got choices. When you're house hunting here, I'd recommend mapping out your childcare backup plan before you commit.

Family-Friendly Features

This is where Eastbrook's newer design really shines. The neighbourhood's got parks integrated throughout—not tacked on at the edges, but actually woven into the streets. Your kids can ride bikes to green space without you needing to load everyone in the car.

Sandra Schmirler Leisure Centre is nearby and is a huge resource for families. Swimming lessons, drop-in programs, community classes—the kind of stuff that keeps your kids active and gives you an actual evening sometimes. You're also close to Greens on Gardiner's Acre 21 commercial hub for shopping and dining.

Safety-wise, Eastbrook's got that newer-neighbourhood advantage: good lighting, clear sightlines, the kind of street layout where kids can play outside and you're not constantly worried.

What Parents Should Know

Verify your catchment. I can't stress this enough. The address you're looking at might be Dr. A.E. Perry, or it might be in a different zone. Call the school. Five minutes, huge peace of mind.

Registration happens early. If your kid's starting kindergarten or you're moving mid-year, don't wait until September. Get on the school's website now and find out the registration window.

Honest limitations: Eastbrook is newer, which is great for home maintenance but can mean the neighbourhood's still building its community feel. You won't find a ton of established sports leagues or neighbourhood traditions yet. The schools are solid, but they're not specialty-programs-everywhere—they're good public and Catholic schools serving a suburban area. If you're looking for a specific program like French Immersion, you might need to travel outside your immediate catchment.
