Prince of Wales Secondary School, Secondary school in Vancouver, Canada
Prince of Wales Secondary School occupies a former golf course at 2250 Eddington Drive in Vancouver, to which it moved in 1960 from its 1920 site at what is now Shaughnessy Elementary. The public secondary school takes its name and the Prince of Wales's feathers and Ich dien motto from Edward, Prince of Wales.
The school was established in 1920 at the original Shaughnessy Elementary site and moved to its current location, a former golf course, in 1960. This relocation represented a major shift in how the institution operated and grew.
The institution runs the TREK Outdoor Education Program, enabling grade 10 students to participate in environmental education through field activities.
The campus sits on the grounds of a former golf course at 2250 Eddington Drive in the Arbutus Ridge area, and it is a working public school rather than a visitor attraction. Access to buildings and grounds is limited to school hours and permitted events, so check with the school office before planning a visit.
The GOLD Program at Prince of Wales serves gifted students with learning disabilities, accepting an average of eight students annually through competitive admission.
