It all starts at Bodwell

Our crest shows the emerging students of all backgrounds, from Canada and around the world, growing and flourishing in the Bodwell community, reaching out with confidence to embrace the world of opportunities. Since 1991, our dedicated administration and faculty have offered an engaging Grade 8 to 12 curriculum for boys and girls, now in a waterfront boarding school in the City of North Vancouver.


Our campus is located in the Harbourside Park in North Vancouver. The south side of the school, extending from the glass curtain wall of the cafeteria, opens to an extensive courtyard connecting to the adjacent park, the waterfront walkway and the coastal shoreline. Students have the tree-lined courtyard, the park, and the waterfront, to muse quietly, read and discuss in groups, to chat or to just relax. All these areas are within a safe distance of supervision to ensure the safety and comfort of our students.

The new campus is completely modern, with facilities that include a multipurpose gym, indoor swimming pool, a tennis court, a presentation theatre, music rooms, library, computer rooms, and the school ground is equipped with wireless internet capabilities.

Every student is placed in a “House” in the Bodwell House System, engaging the entire school community in meaningful activities and healthy competition. Furthermore, all students are required to participate in the Extra-curricular Program, in at least one activity per semester. Most choose to participate in more than one.
