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.
