Private Schools in Toronto and Surrounding Cities

Toronto is Canada’s largest city and home, or close to home, for many of Canada’s leading private schools.  Schools like Branksome Hall, Upper Canada College, and The Bishop Strachan School are located in the Toronto area. All are well known, widely respected, and internationally acclaimed.

Toronto’s rapid growth combined with an ever increasing number of international students aspiring to graduate from Canadian schools, has resulted in an unprecedented increase in the number of Toronto area private schools.   Private and Independent schools offer a broad spectrum of pedagogical options and the newer schools tend to align themselves with a particular focus.  Montessori schools have become very popular and today there are many options for families.  Schools offering an IB framework have grown in number over the past decade as well.
