Windermere Secondary School is a high school in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Although not ranked very well in yearly standings, Windermere is acknowledged to be one of the best overall schools in British Columbia.

The school offers a special program called the Leadership Program, where students get to develop extra skills, get involved around the community, and set goals for the future. It is considered to be the best available in Canada because of how students act after they graduate. The program is also respected by many around Canada.

In 2006, the senior Reach for the Top team won first place in the provincial competition and third place in the national competition.

Also, since the beginning of the 21st century, Windermere prepares what is called a Link Crew program during each summer. This is a chance for grade 8 students to be eased into High School with help from grade 11 and 12 students.
