Boarding at Trafalgar Castle School begins in Grade 7. Our independent school for girls offers small class sizes, innovative programming and a strong sense of belonging. Here, students are personally known and supported, fostering the confidence to be themselves, take risks, tackle challenges and speak their minds without social pressure. Our exceptional academics — grounded in future-ready skills — along with experiential, hands-on learning, outstanding co-curriculars and countless leadership opportunities, prepare our students for today's dynamic world and a world yet to be imagined.
Located just 30 minutes east of Toronto, Canada, and with direct flights to many international destinations, Trafalgar Castle School provides the safety of a small town with easy access to Canada’s largest city. Our comprehensive boarding program provides vigilant, thoughtful and compassionate care for every student, and we maintain strong connections to ensure families feel included in their child’s educational experience. In addition to bright living quarters, our Boarding Students have access to fully equipped facilities such as fitness rooms, a swimming pool, a lounge, a games room, and more. Our Boarding Students also have opportunities to experience the arts, culture, and recreation through supervised weekend trips to Toronto and local attractions, as well as to explore other Canadian cities and cultures on long weekends.
