Our School Story

McKay is a school of 13 divisions on the west side of Richmond. The school is situated on the unceded, ancestral, and traditional territories of hǝn̓q̓ǝmin̓ǝm̓ speaking people.  It is located in a quiet subdivision with a combination of single family homes, town house complexes and apartments, and our school is at the heart of this community. You will find students, families, and community-members alike, enjoying our park-like school grounds, with many people walking for exercise and social connection before and after school hours, and on weekends as well.  Our McKay community is diverse and inclusive, with families who have enjoyed living in Richmond for generations, alongside families who have just arrived from other countries.
