In 1896, a second school was built on the site to replace the first. A bigger school was built in 1912 on the adjoining plot of land to accommodate a growing population on the island. This 1912 building stands today. Denman Island School opened in a new facility on Northwest Road across from the intersection of Kirk Road.<\/p>\n<p>The school now operates as <strong>Denman Island Community School<\/strong> with the <a href=\"https:\/\/dices.ca\/\">Denman Island Community Education Society<\/a> providing community guidance and leadership.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Vision<\/h3>\n<p>To have a vibrant, diverse community school where everyone plays an integral part in life-long learning.<\/p>\n<h3>Mission<\/h3>\n<p>To foster passion, creativity and inclusiveness in our learning environment in ways which enhance opportunities, strengthen community connectivity and recognize our unique physical and cultural<br \/>\ncircumstances.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-03 04:32:56","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"post_tag","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/denman-island-community-school\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/denman-island-community-school\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/denman-island-community-school\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/denman-island-community-school\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/denman-island-community-school\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5"}],"version-history":[{"count":27,"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/denman-island-community-school\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2433,"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/denman-island-community-school\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5\/revisions\/2433"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/denman-island-community-school\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/denman-island-community-school\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
