Collingwood School
Collingwood School is an independent, non-denominational, co-educational, university-preparatory school founded in 1984. Located in West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, it delivers the British Columbia Ministry of Education curriculum from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12. Facilities

Morven Campus
Located at . The Morven campus is the oldest of Collingwood School. It is located at 70 Morven Drive in the British Properties residential area of West Vancouver, and houses Grades 8 and 9 of the Middle School and Grades 10-12 of the Senior School. The buildings previously made up Glenmore Elementary School, which was closed in 1982 along with several other schools in West Vancouver. Parents, students and teachers protested the closure of Glenmore, but were unsuccessful in keeping the school open in the face of declining enrollment and a reduced education budget. The campus has since seen several expansions and improvements, including a full redevelopment completed in 2014. The redevelopment included a theatre, a dance studio, band and choir facilities, a library, a gymnasium, weight facilities and an athletics field, cafeteria, and 21st century learning spaces, all located around an open student commons. Morven is adjacent to Glenmore Park. Wentworth Campus

Located at . Opened in 1997, the junior campus – also known as the "Wentworth" campus – is located at 2605 Wentworth Avenue, in the Cypress area of West Vancouver. It is located in proximity to Cypress Provincial Park. This campus houses all students in the Junior School, which ranges from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 5, and the first two years of Middle School (grades 6 and 7). The school consists of two wings, the Junior Kindergarten-Grade 5 Wing and the Grades 6 and 7 Wing. The Grade 6 and 7 Wing features a full-sized gymnasium and well as two science laboratories. Curriculum 
Collingwood School delivers the British Columbia Ministry of Education Kindergarten to Grade 12 curriculum. In addition to the Ministry of Education requirements, Collingwood also requires that students partake in the Collingwood Certificate program (and the Four Strands approach) and offers multiple Advanced Placement courses. Four Strands 

Collingwood emphasizes a concept known as the Four Strands. The Four Strands are Academics, Athletics, Service, and the Arts. All students must participate in the Four Strands and many extracurricular activities are offered to fulfill the requirements. Students are recognized with awards if they excel in any of the four categories. Collingwood Certificate 

The Collingwood Certificate program is a set of higher standards in addition to the BC Ministry of Education's requirements. The Collingwood Certificate program accompanies the Four Strands approach at Collingwood School. The Collingwood Certificate challenges students with respect to their academic achievement, compulsory athletic participation, continued arts enrollment, participation in community service, the graduation portfolio, and overall citizenship at the school. Upon graduation, the Collingwood Certificate diploma is awarded to all those that meet the requirements. Debating and Public Speaking 

Collingwood's debating and public speaking program has won many provincial, national and international tournaments. The program's alumni include  World Individual Debating and Public Speaking Championships champion Sarah Mortazavi (Grad '05) and two-time champion, Shakir Rahim (Grad '07). Additionally, each student (from Grade 1 to Grade 12) is required to write and present a persuasive speech, a humorous speech, or a dramatic monologue each year in the school's annual public speaking competition. The Morven campus has a Model United Nations club which attends multiple conferences in the Lower Mainland. In recent years they have travelled to Washington, D.C., and New York. Round Square

Collingwood is a member of the international Round Square network of schools, which seeks to give every student a variety of academic, physical, cultural and spiritual experiences to enhance their global outlook. Collingwood annually sends students across the globe on Round Square International Service trips, to destinations such as India, Belize, and Thailand. Projects have included constructing homes, schools, and fresh water collection systems for communities. There is also involvement in local service initiatives, such as Habitat for Humanity. Every year, Collingwood sends a delegation of both staff and students to the International Round Square Conference. In October 2008, Collingwood School co-hosted the international senior Round Square conference with Glenlyon Norfolk School.
