Summary: The very essence of BCS is the strength of our rigorous academic program that empowers students to think independently, critically, and creatively. Small class sizes - an average of 15 students - create a highly collaborative educational experience. Students learn alongside motivated classmates from around the world, with guidance from teachers and supervisors.

Student Life

Students from over 40 different countries add tremendous richness to the boarding experience, and each house is a well-balanced reflection of our diverse school community. The resulting friendships often lead to students hosting each other at their respective homes and to lifelong friendships. International students make up nearly 40 percent of our student body, and this cultural diversity is one of our greatest strengths.

Summary: With four bands (marching, junior, senior & stage), a choir, and the chance to perform at events throughout the school year, music is well-integrated into life at BCS. The R. Lewis Evans Memorial Theatre is a 90-seat black box theatre with computer-controlled lighting and audio systems, which are operated by students. Two major productions take place each school year. Athletics are an integral part of daily life at BCS, with all students participating in either team or individual sports five days a week. Our championship-winning athletics teams include hockey, basketball, soccer, rugby, squash, tennis, swimming, ultimate frisbee, and cross-country running.

Summary: Our University Advisor is eager to assist students in choosing a college or university that matches their interests, abilities and future career aspirations. It's not about picking the best school, it's about choosing the best school for you, he regularly tells students. Mr. Barton works to help students evaluate programs and campuses to find the right combination of elements. With a full array of programs designed to help students throughout their BCS experience, students can find easy access to teachers, tutors, counsellors and advisors for advice and encouragement. Eligible Form VII (Grade 12) students have the unique opportunity to take classes at Bishop’s University, just across the river from BCS. Not only will they be exposed to university curriculum, but they will also start accumulating post-secondary credits.
