West Point Grey Academy

What if I told you a future prime minister once graced the halls of this very academy? Right here at West Point Grey Academy, Justin Trudeau, before he led Canada, taught students math, French, drama, humanities and social studies. West Point Grey Academy isn’t just about famous teachers. Founded in 1996, this independent, co-educational day school, nestled on the unceded Coast Salish territory of Vancouver’s Jericho Lands, educates students from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12. West Point Grey Academy boasts a commitment to a well-rounded education. They focus not just on academics but also character building, global awareness, outdoor education, community service, and student well-being. The goal is to cultivate future leaders who embody the school’s mission of inquiry, action, and joy. With 943 students, West Point Grey Academy is a vibrant learning community. The campus even has its own 1.5 km outdoor running/walking trail. Imagine young minds racing along that path, pondering equations or perhaps lines from a play. West Point Grey Academy’s motto, “Progredimini Confidenter” (“Go Forth with Confidence”), echoes in the achievements of its alumni. From winning national debate championships to leading the country, West Point Grey Academy graduates truly embody this spirit. And who knows, maybe the next prime minister is currently attending class right here, right now.
