About WPGA

Welcome to WPGA

Welcome to West Point Grey Academy. Located on the historic Jericho Lands in Vancouver, we are proud to be a leading independent school of junior kindergarten through grade 12, with our growth and success rooted in our inclusive, spirited school community of students, teachers, families, staff, alumni and alumni families.

In one word, the WPGA experience is authentic. In our supportive learning environment, students are empowered to become the best versions of themselves. Guided by experienced and caring teachers, students establish a strong academic foundation enriched by our commitment to character development, global learning, social justice, environmental sustainability, and emotional wellbeing.

Dedicated to fostering a rich and balanced educational experience, embedded with music, the arts, athletics, community service, and Indigenous learning, we endeavour to graduate open-minded, compassionate leaders who care deeply about each other, their local and global communities, and their own wellbeing.
 
As we celebrate our 30th year of learning in 2025-2026, we remain deeply committed to our mission, Shaping Lives of Inquiry, Action and Joy, and look ahead to many more generations of Grey Wolves.
 
Progredimini Confidenter. Go Forth With Confidence.
 
Sincerely,
 
Stephen Anthony
Head of School
P'18, P'20, P'23

Learning Beyond the Expected

Learning at West Point Grey Academy extends beyond the classroom, inviting students to embrace new perspectives, deepen their understanding of the world, and lead with purpose. Through authentic experiences rooted in inquiry, action, and joy, students develop the confidence, compassion, and curiosity to make a meaningful impact—both within our community and beyond.

The Story of WPGA

A bold dream,
a shared vision

In 1995, friends Andrew Chan and Dr. Peter K. Wong set out to build a new kind of school on Vancouver’s west side: a place that would nurture not just the mind but the whole child. Andrew’s vision, which Peter soon embraced and helped to advance, was for a community where confidence, curiosity, and compassion could thrive alongside academic achievement.

What began as a simple conversation quickly grew into a unified mission: to create a coeducational school that celebrated learning as a lifelong, joyful journey. Andrew and Peter believed deeply that education should prepare young people to navigate the world with integrity, empathy, and an open mind.
