Checklist for All Families
Update contact details and preferences:
Ensure parent/guardian contact information is up up to date on the Portal and make any necessary changes to details and permissions (learn how to do this).
Ensure Boarding staff have the contact information of the local guardian (email, phone number, mailing address).
Order textbooks and purchase supplies:
Review your child's Course List found under 'Files and Forms' on the Portal (login required) and order textbooks through ALPHA Textbooks.
Review Health Centre information and declare if there are any changes or updates to the Boarding students' physical or mental health. All Boarding families are required to complete the health-related forms on the Portal.
Students not covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan will be registered with Branksome's insurance provider with coverage beginning August 1. The cost will be charged to the student's account in the fall.
Branksome Hall will provide those who need it with a formal letter to confirm full-time, in-person student status. This can be shown to Canadian Immigration at the airport.
For the 2024–25 academic year, the school has partnered with ALIVE Outdoors to provide a week of programming for all Grades 7–11 students (Portal login required) that will take place from Sunday, September 29–Wednesday, October 2, 2024.
Financial assistance:
Branksome Hall offers financial assistance, at various levels, to students in Grades 7 to 12 whose families can show evidence of financial need.
We wish to acknowledge this land on which Branksome operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and go to school on this land.
