Student Life

We know choosing the right residential program requires much research and deliberation. The goal is to find a place where you can learn and live in a supportive academic community and we're here to assist every step of the way. We are committed to providing students with a safe and rewarding experience. As expected, many students required assistance as they adjust. Our Residential House Advisers are sensitive to new students' needs as they make this transition. With a staff ratio of 1:5, advisers and faculty provide the direction and encouragement students need to achieve their goals and dreams. Our two residences are home to actors, athletes, musicians, debaters and scholars from across North America and around the globe. Within a five minute walk, boarders have access to our convenient public transit system. We're fortunate to be nestled in the heart of Toronto. Our city reflects the diversity of our international boarding community. Weekends are a time to have fun and there is a huge array of options in a city as big and diverse as Toronto. Our weekend program offers a variety of cultural, educational and recreational programs. Opportunities include bike tours, rock climbing, a winter ski program, movies, museums, theatre and sporting events. Near the College are several independent girls' schools that often join us.

Summary: The University Counselling Office at Upper Canada College is committed to supporting our students as they identify and develop their individual passions and strengths and explore how these will shape their post-secondary studies and future careers. We strive to work in close partnership with boys and their parents, recognizing, as psychologist Michael Thompson has pointed out, that this process is about much more than the mechanics of selecting a place of higher education: it is “the most important and difficult transition” in a young person’s life. As such, the primary goal is to encourage our young men to develop a useful template for making wise adult decisions, one which recognizes the value of thorough research, honest reflection, and a willingness to follow one’s own path. With 100% university placement and IB scores 12 per cent above the average, our grads are well-equipped to head on to top universities in Canada, the U.S. and internationally. A sampling of recent destinations have included Canadian destinations such as the University of Toronto, Western University, Queen’s University and McGill University. In the U.S. grads have gone off to the Jullliard School, Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Princeton University and Stanford University. International destinations are the London School of Economics and Political Science, University of Oxford and the Royal College of Surgeons.
