School review information

Maple Grove Elementary is an excellent public school that combines strong academics with a state-of-the-art learning environment. Its unique 'Open-Air' facility and the dual-track offering of both regular and Montessori programs make it a standout choice in Vancouver. However, families should be prepared for enrollment challenges due to its popularity and catchment waitlists.

Editorial review summary

Publicly available parent reviews and discussions indicate that Maple Grove Elementary is a highly sought-after school with a strong reputation in the community. Parents frequently highlight the challenge of securing a spot, noting that there are often waitlists even for families living within the school's catchment area. The school recently moved into a brand-new, seismically safe building designed as an 'Open-Air School,' which parents and students appreciate for its natural light, modern amenities, and outdoor learning spaces. The availability of the Montessori choice program is also a major draw for families seeking alternative educational approaches within the public system.

Common positives

  • Brand new, seismically safe, LEED Gold-certified building with an innovative 'Open-Air' design and outdoor learning spaces.
  • Offers a highly regarded Montessori Choice Program alongside the regular English track.
  • Strong and consistent academic performance with a Fraser Institute rating of 7.6/10.
  • Active extracurriculars, including an Art Club and various after-school sports and tech programs.
  • Located in a desirable, family-friendly neighborhood.

Common concerns

  • Extremely high demand leads to waitlists, making it difficult to enroll even for in-catchment families.
  • The dual-track system means spots in the regular program are limited due to the space taken by the district-wide Montessori program.

Who this school may fit

Highly recommended for families living in the Kerrisdale area or those interested in the Montessori educational approach. If you are moving to the catchment, register as early as possible and have a backup plan in case of waitlists. For the Montessori program, be sure to follow the Vancouver School Board's specific application timelines in early January.
