École des Pionniers de Maillardville is a French first language school located in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada. It serves the French population of the Metro Vancouver area.

The school was founded in 1998 and is located on the former Terry Fox Secondary School grounds. It incorporates classes formerly held at Millside Elementary, Como Lake Middle and Centennial Secondary School in Coquitlam. The school now has the IB Diploma Programme in French for 10th-12th graders, and has the pre-IB Programme for 7-9th graders. Not directly affiliated with École des Pionniers, but located within it and often a stepping stone to attending the school, is an independent non-profit francophone preschool called Prématernelle Les p'tits lutins.

In 2013 the provincial government announced plans to build a new $22.8 million facility for the school, which is expected to be completed in 2015.[1][2]
