History edit
Early days (1993–1999) edit
In 1993, the parents of West Vancouver Montessori established a school for preschool and kindergarten in a small portable on the West Vancouver Montessori School campus.[1] As the board of directors searched for a suitable permanent site to build on, the school was moved into the North Shore Winter Club in 1995.[1] In 1999, construction was started on the new building lot just up from exit eight of the upper levels highway. The 30 million dollar school was designed for 600 students and consisted of a theatre, library, double gym and science wing.
Senior school expansion (2012–2015) edit
As the school's population of students expanded to over 900[2] The school quickly needed a new wing. Having already constructed a senior school annex, an expansion plan was approved in 2012 and the construction started in June. The new 25 million dollar facility had a new 45000 square foot senior school, a rooftop garden, cafeteria, lobby and underground parking.[3] The total capital campaign was $30 million.
