Braemar Elementary School
Encyclopedia
Braemar Elementary is a Canadian
primary school for children in grades kindergarten to grade 7. It is situated at 3600 Mahon Avenue, North Vancouver, in proximity to Balmoral Junior Secondary School.
Braemar is a bilingual school which has just created the late French immersion
program for older children.
There are currently 513 children attending this school and 43% of the student body are capable, or will be capable, of speaking French at a very high level.
Braemar has many sports programs for the senior grades in the school such as, basketball
, volleyball
and track and field.
The library, which has many books, is new and updated recently. The music room, activity room and office have also been updated in the recent years. Although some of the school is a little older, all is in good shape and working well.
The outside has a great "primary" and "indermediate" playground which includes a spacenet, and multiple slides. There is also a giant gravel field that at one time had an "out of bounds" forest around it that all the children played in, but now is fenced off for their safety.
Braemar Elementary school feeds into Balmoral Jr. Secondary School (balmoralsecondary.ca) which is the only junior high in North Vancouver. There are approximately 350 students who attend the school, creating a small educational environment.
Braemar puts on many fun events for the whole family, such as the Halloween Hoot, Breakfast in Whoville and Pancake breakfast. It also participates in the yearly Terry Fox run.
Every year the gr. 6 and gr. 3 classesgo to the North Vancouver Outdoor SChool and learn how to do many practical things. The gr. 4 classes go to the Big House, and learn about the first nations peoples of Canada and live like they did. The gr. 7 classes take a year end trip to Strathcona, where they learn how to survive in the outdoors and even take an overnight trip to an island to camp below the stars.
