Mission Statement
Kenneth Gordon Maplewood School is a non-profit K-12 independent school in North Vancouver that empowers students with learning differences in a passionate, progressive & inspiring learning environment.
About This Cause
Kenneth Gordon Maplewood School is a non-profit centre of education supporting students with language-based learning disabilities, located in North Vancouver, BC at 420 Seymour River Pl., V7H 1S8.Our registered charity number is 11925-4555 RR0001. For over 40 years, KGMS has helped kids build skills and develop tools to be successful throughout their lives. Our mission is to empower students by unlocking and removing obstacles to learning so that each child can experience personal growth and academic achievement. Our school specializes in educating and growing the confidence of students with autism, dyslexia and other learning differences in Grades K - 12 and our approach is designed to develop the whole child. Statistics show that students with learning challenges, who do not receive the support that they need, have a higher risk of dropping out of school, adult suicide, and homelessness. There is a huge impact on a child’s life and emotional wellbeing when they experience low self-esteem and struggle due to their learning differences. When these students first walk through our doors, their confidence is low and they truly believe that they are not capable of having a successful future due to the way they learn. KGMS is a place they can come to be safe and experience a positive life changing educational opportunity that will lead them to reach their full potential.
