Our Toronto Advantage

Our Toronto Advantage

Branksome Hall welcomes more than 50 Boarding students from around the world to study and live in Toronto, Canada.

A Diverse Community
Located in one of the most multicultural cities in the world, Branksome Hall is proud of our diverse and inclusive school community. Toronto is filled with museums, galleries and festivals that celebrate its diversity and the Branksome Hall community enjoys coming together to recognize days of significance, including Eid al-Adha, Lunar New Year, Diwali, Rosh Hashanah, Dia de los Muertos and Kwanzaa to name just a few! To help our students feel at home, Boarding Advisors also lead weekend excursions to Toronto’s many distinct neighborhoods, such as Chinatown, Greektown, Little India and Koreatown. Learning about and celebrating different cultures empowers our students to be globally-minded.

A Safe City
Toronto is one of the safest cities in the world, with fast and reliable police, fire and ambulance services. The Branksome Hall campus is monitored and protected 24/7 by an on-site security team, ensuring a secure campus environment. Our experienced Boarding Advisors also provide constant supervision and support for Boarding students as they learn and grow.

While Branksome Hall is located in the serene residential neighbourhood of Rosedale, living in Toronto also provides our students with the opportunity to experience the vibrancy of the real world, including different perspectives and cultures, and share that learning in the classroom. They gain confidence and independence as they learn to navigate the city and make their way in the world. 

A Leader in Education and Innovation 
Home to some of the world's most prestigious educational institutions such as the University of Toronto, York University and Toronto Metropolitan University, as well as a diverse range of specialized colleges and professional schools, Toronto is recognized as a global leader in education. Toronto is also Canada’s hub for technology, research and innovation, providing opportunities for our students to benefit from mentorship and guidance from industry leaders.
At Branksome Hall, we are dedicated to nurturing students' creativity, innovation and entrepreneurial skills. Our revolutionary Noodle program empowers students to unleash their imagination and develop entrepreneurial skills. The new Karen L. Jurjevich Innovation Centre and Studio Theatre (currently under construction, with completion expected in late 2025) building will offer versatile spaces designed to inspire our students’ creativity. 

A Vibrant City

Toronto is a city that is buzzing with activity. To ensure our Boarders make the most of their experience and connect with this amazing city, our Boarding program offers a wide array of social and cultural activities. With film festivals including the famous Toronto International Film Festival, art galleries, live theatre, orchestral and ballet performances, Toronto loves to celebrate the arts. From the iconic CN Tower and Ripley's Aquarium to the Royal Ontario Museum and the Toronto Zoo, there is always something to explore!

LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
We wish to acknowledge this land on which Branksome operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the 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.*

*The Land Acknowledgement may evolve as we honour our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation in partnership with Indigenous communities.

Setting the new standard for girls' education everywhere takes collective action. From all of us.
