Nestled in a serene setting beside scenic Bobolink Park, David Oppenheimer Elementary serves

students from the River District and the surrounding Fraserview area. For the 2025/26 school

year, we have an enrollment of 415 students from kindergarten to Grade 7. Currently, David

Oppenheimer Elementary has reached capacity for enrolment in most grades and employs over

50 staff. We are a culturally rich community of learners, organized into 18 divisions, with our

population trending upwards. Our 32 language groups contribute to a diverse multicultural mix,

with students bringing a wealth of cultural experiences from various countries and continents. We

celebrate and welcome differences and are proud to uphold this in school traditions and in our

school code of conduct.

As a school, Oppenheimer is characterized by a history of excellent teaching, successful traditions,

and strong parental involvement. The school's location allows for extensive outdoor educational

experiences. Oppenheimer teachers and support staff bring a vast array of experience, knowledge,

and teaching specialties to share with the learning community. The staff are committed to

innovative practices, and Oppenheimer is known for having a strong academic program that sets

students up for success. Many teachers make the B.C. curriculum and Vancouver School District

Education Plan work in everyday ways in their classrooms by using collaboration, team-teaching

and cross-grade and cross-curricular integration as mainstays.
