Our Mission, Vision and Values
Our Mission
Inspiring Excellence in Education and Life
Our Vision
By inspiring excellence–the continuous pursuit of personal best – in education and life, Mulgrave strives to equip lifelong learners to thrive in a culturally diverse and interdependent world and to embrace, with passion and confidence, their responsibility always to do their best to support others and to make a difference by serving their communities, both locally and in the world at large.
Our Unique Programs
Our academic programme is first-rate with a proven record of excellence; including high marks and IB diploma pass rates that put us on par with the top IB schools in the world. In addition, we offer a wide variety of enrichment opportunities, many of them embedded within our school day. Our students learn a second language (Mandarin, French or Spanish), have regular lessons in both the creative and performing arts, engage in daily physical activity, and are encouraged to serve their local and global communities.
The Community
We are located in beautiful British Columbia, in West Vancouver. We are 5 minutes to the beach and 15 minutes to the local mountain for skiing. From water to mountains and everything in-between, there is not a shortage of activities to enjoy on the West Coast.
School Community
We know that students need good relationships with their teachers and the right kind of support at every stage in their education. We invested heavily in associate teachers to support younger students, in specialist support staff to support students to reach a high level in individual subjects, and in university specialists to help with higher education choices and applications. A key strategy to ensure excellence in teaching comes from prioritising collaborative planning. By giving teachers time to plan together and share teaching strategies, we support our faculty’s professional growth and enhance student learning.
We have created a learning environment that not only looks and feels good, but also actively supports students to achieve their best. From our stimulating, well-appointed and decorated classrooms to our extensive specialist facilities, every space is carefully designed to support and motivate teaching and learning.
Lifestyle and Recreational Opportunities
