The Parent Guild invited families to connect and chat over warm drinks and delicious treats at five events: The Welcome Back Coffee, Remembrance Day Assembly, and three MYP Music Nights.
The Parent Guild hosted seven get-togethers focused on building community and shared language. Our parents new to the English language were encouraged to join the sessions. The Parent Guild cooked a delicious, homemade Caribbean Buffet to feed the entire staff at Meadowridge for the Staff Appreciation Lunch. Then, at the end of the year, they did it once again; this time, cooking a delicious breakfast to serve staff to wrap-up the school year.

The Parent Guild donated $10,000 to purchase the new modular furniture for the DP grad lounge. What’s Meadowridge really like? The Parent Guild chatted with inquiring families at nine open house events.
The Parent Guild was onhand for our three Spirit Days of the year—the Fall Spirit Day, the PYP House Picnic, and the Spring Spirit Day—serving freezies, watermelon, and other delicious eats to feed our hungry students and staff.
The Parent Guild manages, operates, and oversees Gryphon's Emporium, the used uniform shop here on campus. Last year, they sold a total of 598 consignment pieces and gave back to Meadowridge $3,337 to support student learning.
I like working here because the quality of the students and staff is not limited to academics; there is a recognition of the importance of everything else. People acknowledge the need for a sense of community, in which people are motivated to do things for the right reasons. Kids ask me how I’m doing in the halls, and they actually want to know. MS.

MEADOWRIDGE EARNS CIS ACCREDITATION
Earning the Accreditation Before the Visit: Community Collaboration CIS Community Survey We conducted a thorough survey involving our entire school community: parents, students, staff, and board members all shared their views to help us describe and analyze our school in the report submitted to the accreditation committee.
In most categories, we exceeded the international norms from many of the best schools in the world.
1 of 450 schools in the world to earn Council of International Schools Accreditation
The CIS is regarded as the gold standard in accrediting organizations globally, just as the International Baccalaureate (IB) is considered the best international curriculum.
1 of 99 schools in the world to achieve dual CIS Accreditation and IB Authorization
CIS Committees We established seven committees, comprised of parents, students, staff, board members, and alumni to work alongside the accrediting team and to share their opinions of the school, from teaching and learning to school culture and partnerships.
150+
Members in the CIS Committees including
parents, students, alumni, board members, and staff
During the Visit: Welcoming the World to Our School Educators and Administrators from around the 14 world visited our school for the accreditation The Accreditation The team examined every aspect of our school in a weeklong visit; the group was detailed and thorough, evaluating our school against rigorous international standards, and provided us with a report to help our ongoing development as a school.
1 of 2
schools in Canada
to achieve dual CIS Accreditation and IB Authorization Meadowridge is one of the first schools in the world to combine the IBO authorizations into a Continuum Report, examining how the school as a whole combines the three programmes effectively.
"It is clear from speaking to staff, students, and parents that the spirit of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s [Mission and Vision] permeate most aspects of school life, driving decision-making, planning, and action at all levels."
CIS ACCREDITATION COMMITTEE
OUR ACCREDITATIONS & MEMBERSHIPS Meadowridge holds accreditations and authorizations from a number of organizations, including the International Baccalaureate, the Canadian Accredited Independent Schools, the Council of International Schools, and the BC Ministry of Education. These accreditations are distinct, and serve different purposes.
Council of International Schools (CIS) Member since 2013, Accredited since 2017 The Council of International Schools is a global non-profit accreditation organization working collaboratively to shape international education through professional services to schools, higher education institutions, and individuals. The CIS vision is to inspire the development of global citizens through high quality international education: connecting ideas, cultures and educators from every corner of the world. CIS core services include International School Accreditation, Educational Recruitment and Leadership Search for schools, and Higher Education Services that facilitate linkages between schools and colleges and universities.
International Baccalaureate Authorized to offer the IB Continuum: PYP, MYP, and DP The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programs of international education and rigorous assessment. These programs encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.
Canadian Accredited Independent Schools (CAIS) Accredited since 2010 Canadian Accredited Independent Schools is comprised of a community of independent schools with a shared goal to explore and pursue exemplary leadership, training, research and international standards of educational excellence. CAIS was established in 1981 as a national network for member schools supporting collaborative initiatives in leadership, education, management and governance. All CAIS schools commit to undergoing a reflective and collaborative school improvement process, meet national standards, and participate in research and professional development.
Independent Schools Association of British Columbia (ISABC) The Independent Schools Association of BC is a family of outstanding schools distinguished by their provision of exceptional educational experiences, opportunities and preparation for university and 21st century global citizenship. The ISABC links teachers and leaders to promote the sharing of the best educational and leadership practices and ideas. Through collaboration, commitment and an atmosphere of mutual respect, ISABC member schools are positioned to achieve the highest standards of education.

Across the Continuum
At Meadowridge, at every grade level, our children pursue questions of personal interest to themselves.

When not building and painting fences, shovelling and raking, or feeding and caring for the horses, students also kayaked with manatees and went horseback riding.
After their stretch at the Center, students visited the Kennedy Space Center, Universal Studios, Animal Kingdom, and Magic Kingdom to go on rides, tour the parks before they opened, and learn about how parks run.

CLASSROOM WITHOUT WALLS (CWOW) Classroom Without Walls (CWOW) is a program which is aptly named: quite literally, we are extending the classroom beyond the normal confines of four walls and a strict timetable. Students delve into extended inquiry, real world application, and deeper exploration of curricular topics. CWOW events are highly-collaborative, and purposefully designed to encourage authentic, interdisciplinary activities.

WEEK(S) WITHOUT WALLS (WWOW) At Meadowridge, our Grade 6 to 12 students start and end the year a little differently than at most schools. Our Week Without Walls trips are taken as a grade and are meant to create and solidify bonds between students and teachers. The trips set the tone for the year to come, and they're something that our students and teachers look forward to every year.

These include challenge, outdoor skills, and teamwork. In this context, leadership development becomes a backdrop to the learning outcomes. Through a series of challenges and guided discovery on both land and water, students are introduced to key values, knowledge, and skills that assist them in their growth as leaders at school and in the community.

OUR GREENHOUSES, GARDENS & FOREST
In Our Greenhouses Grade 5
Pea Growth Experiment Students conducted controlled experiments to gauge the growth of peas using soil from our own North Forest to that of calculated mixtures of soil. After tending to their peas and noting their observations throughout the experiment, students summarized their findings in science reports using the scientific method.
Diploma Biology
Photosynthesis Variables Students grew plants and compared the rate of photosynthesis growth while manipulating different variables, including light wavelengths and intensity, amount of water added, salinity, and fertilizer concentration.
Kinderbuddies School Grown Gifts
Our kinderbuddies (Grade 12 students and their Kindergarten buddy) potted plants for the Kindergarten students to give to their special someone on Mother's Day. Each duo grew a flower, herb, and Rhododendron.
Grade 11 Math
Propagating Squash Students grew Black Beauty Squash in the greenhouse and then transferred them to the garden beds in the summer. After harvesting the plants, students recorded the mass and length of their squash and used their measurements to conduct statistical analysis.

Garden Club
Cover Cropping Students propagated bedding plants and vegetables for their garden beds. They were then tasked with mixing potting soil and inquiring about vermiculite, perlite, and coconut coir through a greenhouse growing process. In the spring, students turned over crops to boost soil nutrients and designed and planted a flower garden to promote aesthetics and attract pollinators.
Students planted their own tea garden, growing a variety of plants to be harvested, dried, and prepared into tea.
Junior Kindergarten
Tending to their Garden Students tended to their own garden bed and grew lettuce, kale, carrots, and peas as part of their Unit of Inquiry, Sharing the Planet.
Grades 6 through 10
Transitional Learning Language Support Students tended to their own garden bed and harvested vegetables to create their own salads. To practice their English, students kept journals to document their findings, led tours, and read and recorded gardening tips.

Guided Plant Tour
Students took a guided tour of our North Forest with a guide from Cease the Planet to learn about the important plants of First Nations culture.
The data was then used to carry out statistical tests such as chi-squared and t-tests to investigate the relationship of different species of plants in both disturbed and non-disturbed areas.
Living the Gold Rush
Testing the Creek
Students walked through the North Forest to observe and identify natural and manmade boundaries. The students then drew a map of the forest showing the major landmarks. Students learned about invasive and noninvasive plant species, and then walked through the North Forest to use their findings to identify both types in the wild.
Grades 9 & 10 Jogging the Trails
Physical and Health Education students jogged the North Forest trails and created their own personal goal to achieve in a six-week time frame. Many students chose to measure their progress by comparing the length of time it took them to complete five laps of the trails each class.
Grade 6 to 10 CAS Club: Camping Skills
Students ventured into the North Forest to learn a variety of camping skills, including shelter building, rope tying, orienteering, navigation, fire-building, and cooking.
Students explored the North Forest to find three things they would use if they had to survive in the forest. Students took a photo of each resource and explained how they would use it.
To better understand the gold rush, students were sent out into the North Forest to acquire gold nuggets in a Caribou or Fraser River Gold Rush simulation.
Making & Marking the Journery
Students compared the biodiversity of disturbed and undisturbed spaces in the North Forest. During this time, they collected data through transect and quadrat sampling of both areas.
Students tested dissolved oxygen, pH, and nitrate levels in the creek to understand the relationship between these factors and the biodiversity of the disturbed and undisturbed areas of the creek.
Students were provided a rough template of the North Forest and were tasked with labeling key landforms, routes, streams, bridges, and other key features by venturing into the forest and noting their observations.
Grade 5
Students used this information to provide instruction how another adventurer could follow this same route.
Students learned about the different resources in our forest that would be used by First Nations people.
First Nations Connections
Students explored the North Forest while learning about First Nations connection to the land and oral storytelling traditions.

Athletics
MEADOWRIDGE ATHLETICS Athletics in our school is about much more than simply the physical. We want to develop skill, fitness, an understanding of sports, and enjoyment of competition, as well as a drive to excel. We also want to find the place for every child to develop these attributes, regardless of age or gender, experience or confidence. Athletics also develops physical literacy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the knowledge of how our bodies work, and also develops personal qualities of drive, determination, discipline, and confidence through achievement.

Arts
THE ARTS AT MEADOWRIDGE The Arts are central to our lives, and central to our school. Our world is filled with music, with art, with film, with digital representation, with acting and comedy and speeches and creativity. The Arts spark the imagination which is fundamental to innovation and to creativity. In our school, we encourage many forms of expression and multiple ways of understanding and representing our beliefs. There are many skills to be learned. And many performances and displays to prepare. And our school has produced many artists – and as importantly, many people who understand, appreciate, and infuse the arts into every area of their lives.

Grade 9 students investigated the functions and purposes behind maskmaking in different cultures throughout the world and examined the different styles, symbols, and various materials used in their creations. From this research, students gained a better understanding of the importance of masks in a variety of cultures and gleaned ideas from them to create their own masks from ceramics and found materials.

DIPLOMA PROGRAMME ART EXHIBITION
The body of work by each student in the DP Art Exhibition is the culmination of their efforts over the two-year Art program. Students learn to work like an artist, developing their own unique concepts and ideas to express visually for each individual piece as well as the sum of their works as a collection; students consider how each piece will be exhibited and consider the connections between each piece. Student’s final exhibitions are purposefully displayed with a focus on how they—as artists—wanted the audience to move through the collection. To that end, each exhibit demonstrates the critical thinking, artistic knowledge, and artistic development of each student.

Technology
TECHNOLOGICAL RESOURCES AT MEADOWRIDGE
At Meadowridge, we understand that technology is entwined in everything that we do. At this time of rapid, dramatic, and widespread technological change, it has become central to our teaching. Technology in schools is a challenge because it is not a fixed thing. New software changes the way we use computers almost daily, and the particular ways of interacting with programs and devices quickly become obsolete. For this reason, we focus on learning how to use technology, not specific applications, programs, or operating systems. The goal is to have children use any technology which is helpful and appropriate to their personal intentions, while not becoming dependent upon the technology itself. We distribute technology at our school in such a way that it informs learning and creation and problem-solving. Computers are throughout the school, and used in every subject by every child after Grade 5. With younger children, while there is still much use, it is guided closely, since people still learn best by using every mode of learningâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;physical, visual, tactile, and kinesthetic are most important with younger learners. We carefully direct our technological resources. Each subject has technology appropriate to the area and that facilitates learning. We view technology as a means to learning, not an end in itself.
The goal is to have children use any technology which is helpful and appropriate to their personal intentions, while not becoming dependent upon the technology itself 800+ computers in use daily, including portable class sets for early learners Classroom iPads Office 365 suite of programs available to all students and staff and used as a central system Extensive digital library resources, including subscriptions to online databases and websites Fiber-optic internet connection High speed WiFi coverage throughout the school Web-based, high-speed printing for all users

There are four strands of a Meadowridge education: academics, arts, athletics, and community service. Our world is increasingly interconnected, and our students are growing into a world where the wellbeing of any of us is connected to the wellbeing of all of us. Character traits such as empathy, caring, leadership, and collaboration are critically important to our children’s development. The well-roundedness of our students is very important to us. We believe in educating not only our students’ heads and hands, but their hearts as well; to this end, community service is an integral part of being a member of the Meadowridge community.
