Braemar College

Braemar College is a private secondary school located in downtown Toronto, near the University of Toronto. Our programs are designed to ensure students realize their academic, personal, and social potential. The college provides support to each student to assist in admission to universities and colleges across North America, and indeed, across the ocean: our graduates have gone on to study in the United States of America, United Kingdom, and other countries.

Braemar College was founded in 1995 to assist students acquire, improve, and perfect their academic skills in preparation for post-secondary studies. For local and international students, the college offers a context in which understanding and becoming genuinely familiar with other cultures, histories, and languages, is the norm. This is of crucial importance at the dawn of the 21st century, as economies globalize, and future opportunities increasingly arise in diverse places.

Our philosophy of education is based on the principles of personal autonomy, responsibility, and excellence. These are ideals with timeless appeal. Some of the features that have grown out of our philosophy of education are reflected in the following ways:

• An environment that emphasizes autonomy
• Small, well-managed classes with limited enrollment
• Teachers who teach by guiding, not lecturing, students
• A rigorous emphasis on practical academic skills
• Knowing the measure of success in attaining one’s best
• A school setting where personal responsibility is critical.

Braemar College high school is a welcoming and supportive place, designed to help young people get the most out of their education. We offer grades 9 to 12 of the Ontario Secondary School Curriculum, and our rich activity programming allows each student to develop his or her unique talents and abilities.
