Senior School Drop-off, Pick-up & Parking

Parking & Student Drivers 

WPGA is located in a quiet residential neighbourhood. West 8th Ave is also a popular bike route and direct cycling route to UBC. To ensure the safety of students, staff and community members, please drive slowly, mindful of cyclists, pedestrians, and our crosswalk volunteers along 8th Ave. Families must drop-off and pick-up in the designated parking spots. Please safely pull over prior to dropping off or picking up students.  

Drop-off, Pick-up & Parking:

  • Grades 8-12 Families: Use the 8th Avenue View lot (between Discovery and Courtenay). Note this is for morning drop-off only (westbound on 8th Ave); parking in this lot is reserved for public use. Temporary afternoon parking is limited in the View lot. 
  • Student Drivers: Parking is designated on the north side of 8th Avenue (between Discovery and Trimble). Students are not to park directly in front of neighbours' homes along 8th Ave. nor on Courtenay between 8th and 9th Ave. Note that City of Vancouver bylaws allow for ticketing in front of residences after three hours.
  • Student drivers are not allowed to access the school driveway during school hours. 
  • The school driveway is accessible to staff, visitors, deliveries, and authorized families only (driveway pass required; contact Shaun Lum, Security Coordinator, for a short-term parking pass). Ride-sharing services, such as UBER and LIFT, are not permitted to use the driveway to pick up students without permission. 
With limited parking, we encourage walking, biking, transit and carpooling. Covered bike racks are located on the east side of both the Senior and Junior Schools.  


ELECTRIC CHARGERS

WPGA has electric vehicle charging stations located across from the Junior School. These chargers are reserved for WPGA electric school busses and staff EV drivers only. Unfortunately they are not available to the public or parents at this time.

Since 1996, West Point Grey Academy has gratefully resided on the Jericho Lands, the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam Indian Band), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) Nation and sə̓lílwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nation. Honoured to learn and play on these beautiful lands, we endeavour to be a leader in Indigenous education. In creating shared understanding and opportunities, we hope to help foster a more equitable society for all.
