School years. They’re meant to be some of the best years of our lives. And for Branksome Hall students, they are. The time a girl spends here will be rich and full and will leave her with important memories and friendships—many of them gained away from the classroom. We believe creativity, physical activity and service toward others are all part of fun and healthy living.

Branksome welcomes more than 50 students from Canada and around the world into Boarding, where they discover who they are, develop their interests and passions and build lifelong friendships. Boarding staff work with other school departments and outside providers to develop, organize and chaperone activities both on and off campus after school and on weekends.

For the budding star, there are countless ways to get involved in the arts. Try Dance, Drama, Music or Film. Go behind the scenes and play a technical role. Or there are Music (Instrumental and Vocal) and Visual Arts, including fashion, textiles, animation, photography, mixed media and architecture.

The Athletics program at Branksome Hall provides an engaging experience for students through a variety of competitive and developmental teams. The goal of the program is to develop physical fitness, sport-specific skills, athletic principles, teamwork, commitment, resilience and an appreciation for lifelong active living.

Branksome’s mission to shape a better world is brought to life by students giving back locally and globally. From supporting Toronto communities to engaging in international service projects, our students use their talents to make a difference. With global connections, including our study abroad program with Branksome Hall Asia and other exchanges, we empower students to serve and learn worldwide.

Clubs are an important part of school life at Branksome Hall. Clubs are student-led groups formed around a shared interest, hobby or cause, with regular meetings and activities aimed at fostering community, skill development and personal growth.
