Located in the heart of Vancouver’s historical Marpole area, David Lloyd George Elementary is a proud school with a supportive community. With deep gratitude and respect, we honorably acknowledge that we are learning and unlearning on the ancestral and unceded lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation). 

We are located at the crossroads of major transportation arteries - east/ west to UBC and south/ north to the airport and downtown Vancouver. Passenger jets can be viewed soaring as we have expansive views of Richmond. Our community is growing and as a result, our school is increasing in population.    

The school is named for David Lloyd George (1863-1945), British prime minister. Originally built in the Municipality of South Vancouver and taken over by the Municipality of Point Grey in 1908, the first school was opened in Marpole in 1889. The students moved to the first Eburne School, a one-room building on West 70th Avenue. In September 1912 , the public school was renamed the Eburne Superior School when a group of students formed a first year secondary group. In September 1913, the school was renamed the Marpole and Eburne High School when a four-room frame building was opened with public school classes in both buildings. In 1921, the school was moved to the present site and renamed David Lloyd George Elementary School.   In 2017, we began the process of designing a new school that would be seismically safe. The Vancouver School Board and David Lloyd George Elementary School staff worked closely with architects to create a school that meets the needs of our students and staff. On November 27, 2023, our community began teaching in our newly built school. With the new building, our community has the opportunity to use flexible furniture and learning spaces, including breakout areas and commons. We are excited as we embark on this new learning journey. 

Today, our school comprises 18 classroom divisions, approximately 430 students, and 45 staff members We take pride in our staff and parents collaborating to provide special programs for students, including the Diversity Club, choir, various athletic activities, Daylighters (student leadership), school carnivals, parent-sponsored events, and a robust music program
