"Inspire girls to be fearless. Educate girls to be leaders."

School Profile

The Bishop Strachan School is a leading independent JK-Grade 12 day and boarding school for girls. Our rigorous curriculum embraces an equity mindset, and prepares students for university and beyond. Our approach teaches students to learn deeply and build the skills to make positive change. They are encouraged to find their voice, to work collaboratively, and learn to lead. BSS students grow into compassionate and ethical citizens.

BSS is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive community, and we believe that an outstanding education should be accessible to all. With more than $2.2 million available in financial assistance, we aim to provide opportunities to as many qualified applicants as possible.

Our 7.5-acre campus includes STEAM-focused learning spaces, a Centre for Arts and Design, multimedia and film labs, and athletics facilities, including a new turf field - the first in Ontario at a girls’ school. As an inclusive girls’ school, we foster a sense of belonging by affirming our diverse community.

BSS Boarding welcomes Grade 8 to 12 students from Canada and around the world to live, learn and grow. Our comprehensive program helps students become more self-reliant and self-aware, develop confidence and learn to lead. We emphasize life skill development, holistic well-being and safety in everything we do, from exciting on- and off-campus programming to the daily routines that shape Boarding life.
