About

Vision, Mission, Values

With a vision to develop Bold Thinkers and Compassionate Leaders, WPGA prepares students to meet a changing world with curiosity, imagination, empathy, and confidence. We believe in the power of bold minds and big hearts—and in each student’s capacity to contribute with purpose and shape meaningful change.

Our mission is Shaping Lives of Inquiry, Action, and Joy. We nurture the extraordinary in every learner through transformative experiences that inspire discovery, encourage courageous growth, and find joy in both effort and achievement. Students are encouraged to ask meaningful questions, explore new perspectives, take thoughtful risks, and turn their learning into purposeful action.

Across academics, the arts, athletics, service, and community life, students develop the knowledge, character, and confidence to engage fully with the world around them. Supported by dedicated educators and a strong sense of belonging, they learn to think independently, act with integrity, and lead with compassion.

We Learn Beyond the Expected.

We question boldly, explore widely, and engage thoughtfully. Curiosity isn’t something we spark once—it’s the force behind meaningful inquiry, ambitious learning, and the ability to shape change.
We Follow the Courageous Path.

Integrity means choosing what’s right, not what’s easy, and learning from perspectives that broaden our worldview. In speaking truthfully and acting ethically, we advocate for ourselves and others, even when it’s hard.
We Build Community Every Day.

We show up for one another with care, generosity, and intention. Community is something we build daily—through collaboration, inclusion, and the small acts of kindness that make every community member feel known and valued.
We Choose Joy.

We bring energy, imagination, and heart to everything we do, believing that play isn’t a reward for hard work; it’s the foundation for deep creativity, extraordinary ideas, and fulfillment.

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION AT WPGA

At West Point Grey Academy, we value diversity and inclusion for many of the reasons we value coeducation: equality, social preparation, and variety of thought and discourse. We acknowledge and appreciate our differences in all aspects, including race, ethnicity, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, and abilities and disabilities, and encourage expression of personal experiences and opinions so that we may better educate, innovate and inspire. We are committed to fostering diverse student and staff communities and to ensuring that all members of WPGA feel welcome, respected, and empowered to voice their perspective.

We support equal opportunity in our admission process, hiring practices, and educational and service partnerships; as such, we seek to enrol, employ and partner with the best talent based on individual merit and who complement our diverse community of learners.
