Cool best school in Vancouver I’ve ever been in

I transferred here from another school to find a better fit for me and I love it. My old school had very defined levels of social status and coming here makes me feel more normal. The teachers are nicer and actually help you when you have questions and the students aren't judgmental like my old school.

I feel compelled to share my experience with Maple Grove as a concerned parent deeply invested in my child’s education and well-being. While the institution presents itself as nurturing, my encounters with the school’ have left me deeply dissatisfied and concerned. One of the most alarming issues I’ve faced is its lack of transparency and communication regarding instances of bullying and students’ emotional well-being. Shockingly, the school neglects to inform parents when their child is sent to a Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) room or receives counseling support. When asked they stated “they are not allowed to notify parents”, which I have not found any policy affirming that statement. This failure to share crucial information deprives parents of the opportunity to provide necessary support during challenging times or help manage behaviors. Furthermore it comes off as nefarious to keep information pertaining to a child from a parent. Moreover, attempts to address concerns with the school administration reveal a lack of effective communication. Instead of offering constructive solutions or demonstrating accountability, officials make excuses and engage in circular discussions, leaving issues unresolved. This pattern only heightens frustration and disillusionment among parents who entrust the school with their children’s well-being. In addition to communication issues, the staff’s demeanor towards student and family events is concerning. Many staff members display rudeness and reluctance to participate, often hindering planned events. This attitude reflects poorly on the school’s commitment to community building and impedes meaningful engagement between the school and its stakeholders. The failure to promptly address bullying incidents and the dismissive attitude of staff towards student and family events not only jeopardize students’ safety and emotional health but also erode trust within the parent community. Consequently, Maple Grove fails to provide a supportive learning environment where all students can thrive. In conclusion, I cannot recommend Maple Grove to prospective parents until steps are taken to prioritize communication, address bullying effectively, and foster a culture of openness and accountability. Every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and supported in their educational journey, and it’s crucial for Maple Grove to take immediate action to uphold these principles and start walking the walk and instead of being all talk.
