Located in the heart of Toronto, Upper Canada College offers “big school” opportunities and facilities combined with a “small school” approach to individualized learning. Our teachers draw on best practices in education as they challenge boys to be open-minded, reflective learners who demonstrate courage, citizenship and good character. We are an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, and our academic scores are 2 to 5 points higher than the world average. UCC also offers a complete range of co-curricular activities, to encourage the emerging talents of athletes, actors, musicians, debaters, scientists and more. Our unsurpassed facilities include a double-pad hockey arena and the Norval Outdoor School, a 400-acre nature sanctuary northwest of Toronto. At UCC, we value excellence and diversity, and are actively engaged in building a school that reflects a variety of backgrounds. We recognize that embracing a mix of cultures, talents, experiences and socioeconomic diversity will make the College a more rewarding place in which to learn. For the 2013 entry year, UCC offered well over $3 million in partial and full financial assistance to talented boys from across Canada and internationally.
