ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE

Mulgrave offers the International Baccalaureate programme to all students.

Mulgrave offers the International Baccalaureate programme to all students. With an emphasis on the Learner Profile, international context, forward-looking approach, and academic rigour, we believe it is the best education available today to help prepare our students for tomorrow. Through the breadth and depth of our world-class IB education, we can develop inquiring, knowledgeable, and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.

Beyond these core programmes, Mulgrave’s extensive co-curricular offerings and enrichment opportunities, alongside a myriad of support services, make our broad education provision among the very best in Canada and beyond.

CIS & IB RE-ACCREDITATION

The 2021-22 school year saw the culmination of an 18-month evaluation and re-accreditation process for both IB and the Council of International Schools (CIS). This cycle takes place every five years and is a valuable opportunity for us to get feedback on Mulgrave’s practices, policies, and direction, from specially trained school leaders from IB and CIS schools around the world. Additionally, the process enables us to benchmark ourselves against leading international schools around the world.

The in-depth self-study process encouraged the school to reflect on all aspects of our operations and involved participation from a wide range of community members. Following, a group of evaluators visited the school virtually (under COVID protocols), attending classrooms via roving iPads, and meeting with faculty and staff, students, Board members, and parents and guardians online. The resulting reports and feedback from both organisations were resoundingly positive and affirm our overall strategic plan direction. Commendations were wide-ranging, with particular praise for our commitment to student wellbeing, embrace of innovation, focus on school-wide skill development and enrichment, and leadership structures. Areas where we will put additional focus include deeper and broader development of our approach to environmental sustainability, which will be led by our new Environmental Sustainability Coordinator, as well as Mulgrave’s ongoing diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice journey led by our Director of DEIJ.

Mulgrave School is an exemplary school where everyone is working together - students, parents, teachers and leaders - to create an enriched community, one that allows students to grow and thrive.”

A PERSONALISED APPROACH

Enriched Pathway

About 20% of our Senior School students follow an enriched pathway to graduation. They customise their programme with selected IB and BC Provincial courses to pursue their commitments to athletics, the arts, or other interests or because the flexibility is best for their circumstances. These students benefit from the rigour of IB and create a balance that allows them to manage demands on their time while excelling in other areas of their education.

University Counselling & Careers Department

Our UCCD is committed to informing, enhancing, and guiding students in all aspects of post-secondary planning. The team helps refine the university search and determines what path should be taken in order for our students to be prepared to earn a place at their university of choice.

This journey begins in Grades 8 and 9 with guidance embedded in the curriculum. In the Senior School, counselling expands to include course selection advice. Our university counsellors meet with each student to map out a detailed schedule which reflects personalised post-secondary ambitions.
