About Our School<\/h1><\/div>

Rockridge School is located in the municipality of West Vancouver which is situated northwest of the city of Vancouver. We are located directly across from Caulfeild Village Mall on Headland Drive. Easiest access is via Exit #4 from Highway 1. The school community includes families from the areas of Bowen Island, West Bay, Caulfeild, Gleneagles and Lions Bay, but we also have students coming to Rockridge from around the world.<\/p>\n

Rockridge students are encouraged to get involved in activities and events that interest them. The school has traditionally offered an extensive sports program which includes rugby, basketball, volleyball, field hockey, golf, soccer, cross-country, mountain biking, wrestling, ski & snowboarding, and track & field. Since opening in September of 1996, Rockridge has won many North Shore Championships and Vancouver and District Championships.<\/p>\n

Rockridge School also excels in the performing arts. The school has programs in the following departments: Home Economics, Information Technology, Technology Education, Performing Arts including band and drama, and Visual Arts. Our school also participates in the International Education Program. Students from other countries live with local residents, attend school and participate in extra-curricular activities. They have special classes to improve their English, but are mainstreamed in most subject areas.<\/p>\n

Each new school year, the staff at Rockridge Secondary School looks forward to continuing to provide quality programs and opportunities for students.<\/p>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row background_style=”image-right” css=”.vc_custom_1467133958730{background-image: url(https:\/\/westvancouverschools.ca\/rockridge-secondary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2016\/06\/Rockridge-school-med-02.jpg?id=737) !important;}” el_class=”welcome-banner”][vc_column el_class=”home-welcome-banner”]At Rockridge Secondary School we will stive to establish an atmosphere in which:<\/span>
