Norma Rose Point Elementary School Information

If you have ever thought about buying a home with UBC Real Estate and raising a family in UBC’s pristine neighbourhoods, now is a good time to consider your children’s schooling options.

Norma Rose Point Elementary brings new life to the area by replacing the old University Hill Secondary School on Acadia road. The school will consist of two major wings, one for Kindergarten to grade 5 and the other wing for grades 6 – 8. The school’s construction is on track for occupancy in time for classes of September 2014.

The school was named after a locally renowned educator, and Musqueam elder Norma Rose Point. The vision for UBC’s education system has established itself over the last ten years which includes a vision of two elementary schools, one middle school and one high school. When the number of students requires it, a third elementary school will be planned to be built in Wesbrook Village.

Vancouver School Boards’ director of instruction, field services team, Robert Schindel said that in order to achieve this vision the VSB needs to re-align the current grade configuration at both the University Hill Elementary and Secondary Schools.
