[3] Meadowridge School is on 27 acres of land in east Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada, approximately 45 minutes from Vancouver, BC.

[5] Meadowridge School abides by the British Columbia Ministry of Education curriculum while offering the International Baccalaureate program at all grade levels.

The International Baccalaureate focuses "on teaching students to think critically and independently, and how to inquire with care and logic"[6] Meadowridge was first authorized for the Primary Years Programme (Junior Kindergarten to Grade 5) on February 19, 2007.

[16] Meadowridge School is made up of four houses: Alouette (Blue), Kanaka (Red), Fraser (Green), and Whonnock (Orange).

The day begins with the groups performing "house cheers", which are typically parodies of popular songs with added actions.

Previously, each house had a mascot character: Alouette an Alligator, Kanaka a Kodiak, Fraser a Falcon, and Whonnock a dragon.

[17][18] Students organize and manage a number of events, volunteer projects, and fundraisers throughout the year including a benefit concert, food hamper sorting, movie night, and awareness campaigns.

[18] Meadowridge School students have written cards and letters of thanks that are "then delivered to local retirement communities and veterans"[19] as part of a school-wide week of remembrance in November.
