As you wind your way up the short lane at the base of Cypress Mountain and pull into Mulgrave Schoolโs parking lot, youโre immediately taken by the vista. The views of the ocean, surrounding forest, and the city in the distance are truly breathtaking. Looking more closely, youโll notice elements like the International Baccalaureate logo, a beautiful totem pole, and welcoming symbols of inclusion that reflect the schoolโs purpose and values.
Mulgraveโs mission of Inspiring Excellence – the pursuit of personal best – in Education and Life is one that rings true in its holistic approach to education for every student from their wee preschoolers to the Grade 12s who are ready to spread their wings. With the IB programme at its core, Mulgrave offers an enriching academic environment infused with the arts, athletics, outdoor education, and service and leadership opportunities.

With a personalised approach for students and purpose-built spaces ranging from a climbing centre to makerspaces, young people can truly thrive while they discover their passions and build the skills necessary for a rapidly changing world.
