SHAPING LIVES & SHAPING FUTURES

THE SHAPING LIVES FUND

At West Point Grey Academy, students thrive because they are supported by a committed community of parents, teachers, staff and friends—a community focused on helping each student reach their full and unique potential.

Donations to our annual fund, the Shaping Lives Fund, are fully tax-deductible and ensure we can continue to provide the best programs and opportunities to empower our students to become the best version of themselves.

Like all independent schools, WPGA is a nonprofit organization. Tuition and government grants cover foundational programming, staff compensation and operational maintenance. Annual giving allows us to provide enriched programs, elevate our learning spaces, and invest in community projects that truly set us apart and help all members of our Wolfpack grow and flourish.

Every gift to the Shaping Lives Fund makes a difference. Thank you for your support and belief in WPGA and our mission to shape a life of meaning and impact for each and every Grey Wolf.

"We are so proud to be part of the WPGA community, both as parents and as donors to the Shaping Lives Fund. Knowing that we are supporting innovation in teaching and enhanced resources only deepens our connection with the school and to our children's educational experience."

A climbing sphere apparatus, the Explorer Dome is a dynamic play structure offering stimulating physical and mental benefits for a range of ages.
Buddy Bench

This colourful bench on the primary playground is a welcoming, inclusive space for children to gather, particularly if they need a friend to talk to. This project was a collaboration between our junior school counsellors and the Shaping Lives Fund.

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.
