Kenneth Gordon Maplewood School

Raise money for Kenneth Gordon Maplewood School

Statistics show that students with learning challenges, who do not receive the support that they need, have an increased 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 an appropriate education that meets their specific needs: their self esteem and confidence increases, and they begin to recognize personal growth.

When students first walk through our doors, their confidence is low and they may feel that their prospects are limited due to their ongoing social and academic challenges. Kenneth Gordon Maplewood School is a place where these students can come to be safe and experience a positive life changing educational opportunity that will lead them to reach their full potential. KGMS is a leader in the education of students with diverse learning challenges. 

KGMS is a non-profit organization, located in North Vancouver that supports K-12 students with complex learning disabilities. Our specialized program offers: 

  • Small academic classes with personalized instruction
  • One-on-one Orton-Gillingham tutoring
  • A focus on hands-on learning, and social-emotional support. 

Our Registered Charity Number is 11925-4555-RR0001.

We help students reframe the idea that they have about their future. 

We are running to raise funds for Student Financial Aid!

Funds raised help us provide Bursaries for families in need. By donating to Team KGMS, you are:

  • Supporting a healthier family life: KGMS assists and eases the heartache and stress that school struggles bring home. We provide in-school OG tutoring and the support and guidance that many families must seek outside of a traditional school environment.

  • Supporting the value of education, inclusion and fairness: your donation will provide equitable access for children who learn differently. By donating, you help us continue to provide a safe and comfortable learning environment for our K-12 students.

  • Honouring the KGMS teachers, tutors, counsellors and support staff who have made a difference in a child's life, and for the essential work they do every day. You are helping a child understand that they are capable and deserving of a bright future. 

A child needs to be taught in the way they learn best, and with your help, we can continue to set up all children who have learning challenges with a bright future.
