Collegiate Tower - Point Grey Secondary School Located at 5350 East Blvd in Kerrisdale - April 20, 2008 - Vancouver BC.

Point Grey Secondary School is an 8-12 secondary school located in the Kerrisdale neighborhood Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The main building was built in 1929 in a Collegiate Gothic style. A long running student rumor is that the building was initially planned as a women's prison, and only changed to a school shortly before construction was finished. In reality, construction of the school was commissioned by the Municipality of Point Grey prior to amalgamation with the City of Vancouver. The first students began classes in September 1929 and the building served as a junior high school until 1965 when it became a full secondary school. Also in 1965, a new wing was added with a gym, laboratories and a library. Recently in 2006, Point Grey, in conjunction with the Parks Board, completed a new artificial turf field, and have recently completed upgrading the track surrounding it to a rubberized surface. Point Grey offers Advanced Placement courses in Calculus AB, Chemistry, Physics, and Psychology.
