"Established in 1836 in Lennoxville Quebec, Bishop’s College School (BCS) offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme and course certificates along with Canadian curricula. Bordered by farmland and rolling hills on one side and the city of Sherbrooke on the other, BCS is a small, welcoming community with students from over 30 different countries. A well-rounded education of academics, athletics, arts, leadership development, and global citizenship prepares BCS students to become tomorrow’s leaders."
No two students are alike and as such your BCS experience is unlike anyone else’s. Much like a ‘choose your own adventure’ book, your time at BCS is tailored to you, shaped by the classes you take, the sports and clubs you participate in, and the countless leadership and service opportunities you take advantage of. Our students graduate from BCS as caring, open-minded, confident, and engaged global citizens equipped to take on the world and excel in their pursuits.
To maintain our focus on a well-rounded education, we have deliberately chosen to limit our student body size, ensuring personalized attention and support for each student. This choice reflects our commitment to fostering a close-knit community where every student can participate actively in diverse programs and receive individualized guidance, even if it means not expanding our enrollment numbers significantly.
Our history is rich with pivotal moments that have shaped Bishop’s College School into the institution it is today. Established in 1836, our origins as the Lennoxville Classical School laid the foundation for academic excellence. A significant turning point came in 1972, when we merged with King’s Hall, Compton, becoming a co-educational institution. This merger broadened our perspective and enhanced our inclusivity. Our adoption of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme further propelled us into the modern educational era, aligning with our mission to develop global citizens. These milestones have cultivated a legacy of excellence, diversity, and innovation that continues to guide us.
The ideal student for Bishop’s College School is one who is eager to engage both academically and personally. We seek students who are curious, open-minded, and ready to embrace a global perspective. A good fit is someone who values learning beyond the traditional classroom setting and is keen to participate in hands-on activities that promote leadership and personal growth. Students who thrive in our community often have a passion for exploring diverse interests, whether in academics, the arts, or athletics. They are resilient, adaptable, and willing to challenge themselves. Additionally, students who appreciate being part of a tight-knit, supportive community, where they can form meaningful relationships with peers from around the world, will find BCS a welcoming environment. We welcome those who are committed to contributing positively to our school culture and who aspire to make a difference in the world.
While Bishop’s College School offers a nurturing and enriching environment, it may not be the best fit for every family. We would advise against choosing our school if a family is seeking a highly specialized or narrowly focused academic program, as our curriculum is designed to be broad and globally oriented, emphasizing the development of well-rounded individuals. Families prioritizing a large, urban school experience might not find our close-knit, rural campus setting suitable. Additionally, if a student is not open to engaging in a diverse range of activities or is uncomfortable with the idea of being part of an international community, they might not fully benefit from what BCS offers. We believe in fostering a community where students are encouraged to explore and grow, and those who are not aligned with this vision may want to consider other educational options.
BCS is situated in the ideal location—it's the perfect balance of safe, small-town convenience and big city accessibility. With an average class size of 15 students, our students develop close relationships with their teachers who also serve as their coaches, advisors, and are part of the boarding houses. Students are further supported by a full-time school counsellor, nurse, physiotherapist, and strength & conditioning coach, as well as academic support in our R.D.W. Howson Enrichment Centre.
Bishop’s College School is widely regarded as a prestigious institution known for its academic excellence, global perspective, and commitment to developing well-rounded individuals. Our rich history and traditions, coupled with a modern approach to education, have earned us a reputation as a leading co-educational boarding and day school. The public views us as a nurturing community that values diversity, inclusivity, and the holistic development of each student.
Location matters and our 250-acre campus in bilingual Quebec is perfectly situated at a short walk from the cozy borough of Lennoxville and a quick drive from bustling downtown Sherbrooke. Our region is called the Eastern Townships and we are lucky to be surrounded by beautiful hills, lakes, trails, and farmland. Our students enjoy skiing and snowshoeing in the winter and hiking and watersports in the spring. The Moulton Hill landscape is one of the things our alumni tell us they miss most!
Our elite hockey program comprised of a Varsity Team and a Prep Team is considered a ‘hidden gem’ in the hockey world. Three alumni of our hockey program have been drafted to the NHL in the past four years. Noah Dobson, BCS’18, Dawson Mercer, BCS’19, and Evan Nause, BCS’21, were all selected in recent NHL drafts. This year our Varsity team took home the MPHL championship and our Prep Team claimed the NISIC championship.
