  Meadowridge is an independent, coeducational, secular, university preparatory, International Baccalaureate World School serving students from Junior Kindergarten (age 4) to Grade 12, located on 16.34 acres of land in Maple Ridge, BC.Meadowridge School was founded in 1985 by a dedicated group of parents who saw a need for better educational choices in the community.In the fall of 2006, the school's Board of Governors approved a $9 million expansion to the school. Completed in February of 2008, our new building features six new classrooms including two state of the art science labs, a cafeteria, and theatre. The expansion was completed on time and under budget.In the spring of 2007, the school was authorized as an International Baccalaureate World School for the Primary Years (PYP) and Middle Years (MYP) Programs. Meadowridge is the only school in Mainland BC (and one of only 6 in Canada) accredited to offer both the PYP and MYP programs. We are now exploring the option of also adopting the IB Diploma Program for Grades 11-12. (Currently, we offer Advanced Placement Courses for Grades 11-12).Meadowridge is proud to have what may be the largest school library collection in the province, including over 35,000 resources (combined volumes and audio/visual).In the spring of 2007, Meadowridge Grade 9-12 drama students won the Provincial High School Drama Festival, including awards for best actor and actress, for their production of “Bang, Bang, You’re Dead”Meadowridge has gained province-wide media attention for our unique courses offerings of Forensic Science 11 and Magic 11. Both are the only secondary school offerings of their kind in Canada
