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:
“School divides life into two segments, which are increasingly of comparable length. As much as anything else, schooling implies custodial care for persons who are declared undesirable elsewhere by the simple fact that a school has been built to serve them.”
—Ivan Illich (b. 1926)
“What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
