Bronte College strives to provide students with the highest quality education, and a boarding program that supports high academic achievement and independence. Students engage in extra-curricular activities that support active lifestyles and build leadership attributes.

As an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, Bronte College encourages a collaborative learning environment that focuses on inquiry-based learning rather than fact memorization. By satisfying the requirements of the Ontario Ministry of Education Curriculum guidelines, all Bronte students will graduate with an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) and have the option of pursuing the IB Diploma Programme (DP) in Grades 11 to 12 or the AP Program in Grade 12. Students enrolled in these enriched programs may be granted university credits upon successful completion of Grade 12 courses.

As a requirement set out by the Ministry of Education, students must pass The Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test in order to graduate from secondary school. The literacy test is created and assessed by the EQAO (Education Quality and Accountability Office), an arm’s-length agency of the provincial government that evaluates reading, writing and comprehension skills based on the Ontario Curriculum’s expectations in language and communication up to and including Grade 9. To prepare students for successful completion of the OSSLT, Bronte College holds a Mock Literacy test prior to the OSSLT. Students who do not pass the Mock Literacy Test successfully will receive remedial help to prepare for testing.

Our exceptional teachers are dedicated to helping students achieve their personal best and get the most out of their education. Our teachers hold certification from the Ontario College of Teacher or teacher certification from world renowned teacher training programs. Bronte college teachers continuously take additional qualification courses with a variety of high-profile universities within the GTA. Passionate about challenging students to strive for excellence, our teachers provide support beyond academics, and into co-curricular activities that develop leadership, confidence and respect.

As part of graduation requirements, students must complete a minimum of 40 hours in community involvement activities. The purpose of community involvement is to encourage students to develop awareness and understanding of civic responsibility and of the contributions they can make in supporting and strengthening their communities. These activities may be completed at any time during their years in the secondary school program. International students may bring community service hours with them for partial credit, provided the type of community involvement meets the criteria.
