Mulgrave School History
Mulgrave School sprang to life in 1993, when the Board of Directors responsible for operating the West Vancouver Montessori School envisioned the creation of a new, independent, non-denominational school on the North Shore. In September 1993, Mulgrave School opened in a portable classroom on property adjacent to the Montessori facilities. During the school year of 1994/95, the student population expanded into a split Grade 1/2. In September 1995, Mulgrave School opened in newly designed facilities at the North Shore Winter Club, providing a secure home for the next five years while the Board worked to fulfill its mandate of securing a permanent site. After an extended search, the school purchased the new site at Cypress Lane and moved into its permanent home in September 2001.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or history:
“The first rule of education for me was discipline. Discipline is the keynote to learning. Discipline has been the great factor in my life. I discipline myself to do everything—getting up in the morning, walking, dancing, exercise. If you won’t have discipline, you won’t have a nation. We can’t have permissiveness. When someone comes in and says, “Oh, your room is so quiet,” I know I’ve been successful.”
—Rose Hoffman, U.S. public school third-grade teacher. As quoted in Working, book 8, by Studs Terkel (1973)
“English history is all about men liking their fathers, and American history is all about men hating their fathers and trying to burn down everything they ever did.”
—Malcolm Bradbury (b. 1932)
