Vancouver Island has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to beautiful, excellent schools, and certainly Queen Margaret’s is one of them. It was founded in 1921 by Norah Creina Denny and Dorothy Rachel Geoghegan, who dedicated themselves to providing what was, for the time, something unique: a robust educational experience for all, including women “capable of realizing ourselves as complete individuals.” Certainly, that’s what they did, and it’s a tradition that the school maintains today. The riding program is distinguishing, as is the strength of the academic programs. A strategic plan begun in 2014, to complete at the school’s centenary, will reaffirm the commitment of the founders to excellence as well as their commitment to adapting to the changing needs of students.
Queen Margaret's School
At Queen Margret's my child has grown to appreciate the diversity of the students. Being a preschool to grade 12 and boarding school, she has the opportunity to interact with all the grade levels and meet other students from around the world. It has given a larger world view from personal points of view. When asked if there was anything that disappoints her nothing came to mind as the opportunities for her to learn about things that are meaningful to her are extensive. View full review
