Maple Grove is a public elementary school in the Kerrisdale area of Vancouver. Our focus is student leadership, technology and academic success. We are the centre of a caring community led by our Parent Advisory Council – a community that “cares deeply, shares generously and helps willingly.”
We offer two different programs. One is the child-centered Montessori Program emphasizing responsibility for one’s own learning and independence. The other is the Traditional Program using a traditional teaching style emphasizing student engagement, academic excellence, hard work and effort while at the same time incorporating modern technology through the use of SmartBoards and Ipads. We have about 470 students from Kindergarten to Grade 7. We offer a fine library, an excellent sports program and the opportunity to join the Maple Grove band. Students may also join a chess club, a math club or a creative crafts club. There are often after school opportunities such as Lego Robotics or baby sitting courses. Student leadership is encouraged through membership of the Global Citizenship Club and student representation on student council. Our students also serve the school in a number of ways as part of their contribution to our caring community.
Maple Grove Elementary is located at 1924 45th Ave W. near the heart of Kerrisdale in Vancouver, B.C. Built in 1924 originally, it has experienced many additions and renovations over the years. In 2003, Maple Grove underwent a full heating, ventilation and plumbing systems’ upgrade. In 2006, the undercover area was seismically upgraded. In late 2020 Maple Grove moved into a brand new building with the main entrance on 45th Ave W.
Maple Grove has approximately 500 students and 50 staff members, including classroom teachers, a librarian, resource teachers, supervision aides, district instructors, support workers, and office and engineering staff. There are twenty-two divisions of children in Kindergarten through Grade 7.
Students at Maple Grove are provided with a balanced curriculum focusing on basic skills, academic excellence, and social and physical well-being. The students are given opportunities to extend their knowledge by taking a number of school-related field trips. At the Grade 6 level, for example, they attend a yearly 3 or 4 day outdoor school experience which focuses on an understanding of the environment and the impact that we have on the health of our planet.
The school boundaries go from 41st Avenue on the north to 57th Avenue on the south. The boundary also extends from Larch Street on the west to Granville Street on the east. Exact catchment area determination, however, would need to be confirmed by calling the school. The school is located directly adjacent to Magee Secondary.
Maple Grove Song
T’was built in nineteen twenty four, so brave and proud and strong. Where students and our athletes too are learning right from wrong.
It’s Maple Grove – the school where we all do our best
It’s Maple Grove – with red and black upon our crest
In sports we challenge everyone and try right to the end
And even though we might not win, each rival is our friend
It’s Maple Grove – the school where we all do our best
It’s Maple Grove – with red and black upon our crest
We know that we’re all diff-er-ent in very many ways
At Maple Grove we also know that different is OK
It’s Maple Grove – the school where we all do our best
It’s Maple Grove – with red and black upon our crest
Our math and socials, science too are fun at MGS
And when we’re asked to help our school the answer’s always, “Yes”
It’s Maple Grove – the school where we all do our best
It’s Maple Grove – with red and black upon our crest
Oh we are loyal to our school and feel we all belong
At Maple Grove our favourite school, together we are strong.
