Bishop's is a school of 800 students in grades six through twelve. Our community is committed to discussion-based, student-centered instruction. This pedagogical approach relies on close reading, critical thinking, analytical writing, experimentation, and an openness to honest and challenging discussions. It also relies on a fundamentally human-to-human interaction: Student and teacher exploring ideas and concepts together in order to reach a more in-depth, better understanding. Every day, our faculty interacts with students individually and in small groups. Students are encouraged to create and engage in dialogue with others and to explore new ideas and solutions for both traditional social issues and those created by Miss Scripps' prediction of that "technological change." On the athletic fields, on the stage, and in the art studio, we strive for excellence through hard work and a joyful pursuit of our passions. We are a community of learners. We understand that the commitment, dedication, and curiosity of each of our students has the potential to transform our School, our community, and our world. Above all, we want our students to understand that their approach with others, guided by kindness, fairness, and integrity, will enhance their understanding of the world and establish a foundation for relationships that will endure the test of time. We welcome you to the Bishop's community! While it may be true that a school is measured by what its graduates become, for The Bishop's School, it is the "becoming" part of this belief that has shaped the School's mission for 109 years. In addition to stimulating and challenging students academically, we believe that our role is to help young people learn to be morally discriminating and define ethical standards that will take them from adolescence to adulthood. We recognize that how we teach plays a crucial role in how well students assimilate information and how well they gain insight into how they will live their lives. Bishop's teachers are accomplished in their fields and bring a passion for teaching and young people, and our classes are remarkably small; most have 14-16 students. When students have spent their years at The Bishop's School, we trust that they will go forward, relying on their strengths and on the qualities that we have helped them develop while they were at Bishop's. The Bishop's School is an academic community pursuing intellectual, artistic, and athletic excellence in the context of the Episcopal tradition. We are dedicated to offering the highest quality education to a diverse student body and fostering integrity, imagination, moral responsibility, and commitment to serving the broader community. The Bishop's School promotes an inclusive and compassionate community of students, faculty, staff, administrators, parents, trustees, and alumni. We honor and embrace diverse identities such as age, culture, ethnicity, family structure, gender, gender identity, group affiliation, national origin, physical and mental ability, race, religion, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. Because diversity enriches the exchange of ideas, we foster a physically and emotionally safe environment where different experiences, thoughts, and opinions are respectfully expressed and respectfully heard. Such an environment allows every individual to thrive in and contribute to our global community. View full school

Bordered by farmland and rolling hills, Bishop's College School is a small, diverse community located in Sherbrooke, Quebec – 161 km east of Montreal. The school is English-language and co-educational, welcoming both boarders and day students. Our faculty and staff are dedicated, experienced, and committed to students' growth both inside and outside the classroom. Each student is appointed an Advisor who helps monitor social and academic progress—learning strategists in the R.D.W. Howson Enrichment Centre works in conjunction with faculty to help students develop the tools and confidence needed to excel. With an average class size of 15, students and teachers develop close bonds. We emphasize individual attention and collaborative learning. Every two weeks, we evaluate each student's participation in class through the Effort Ratings. In addition to class time, teachers are also available for extra help during evenings and weekends. Our students are equipped to succeed. Our University Advisor works with each student to find universities and programs that match their interests, abilities, and aspirations. Through our Bridge Program with Bishop's University, eligible students in Form VII (Grade 12) can enroll in university courses for credit. We prepare students for A.P., S.A.T., and other standardized tests. We're also an official S.A.T. test center. The unique T.H.P. Molson Bilingual Option allows French-speaking students to maintain fluency in their mother tongue while also providing English-speaking students the means to reach higher levels of French skill. English as a Second Language (E.S.L.) instruction is available from Form II (Grade 7) to Form V (Grade 10) to help both international and French-speaking students adapt. Read more about our curriculum. Students with a passion for the arts have no shortage of opportunities at B.C.S., and students who have not yet discovered their passion have a place to learn and explore. The Visual Arts program focuses on creativity and studio work, as well as art history and theory. Drama students can work both on and off the stage, writing and performing short plays and film scripts, and creating longer film projects. With four bands and a choir, the students in the Music program perform at events throughout the year and develop an appreciation for various music styles, including jazz, classical, and accessible. Our primary goal is to educate young people, enabling B.C.S. students to benefit from a broader range of knowledge, a greater depth of understanding, and a solid foundation of values. The school continued to grow and prosper over the years; unfortunately, not all students shared the same fate during periods of conflict. B.C.S. takes tremendous pride in the fact that hundreds of former students volunteered and fought for Canada during the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War. The names of those who fell (65 boys and three masters in the First World War, 62 boys in the Second World War and one master in the Korean War) are remembered every year during the school's Remembrance Day Service in November. B.C.S. teachers are energetic, passionate, and inspiring people who care deeply about student success. They challenge students appropriately, provide individualized attention, and set high standards. The network of support continues outside the classroom with other teachers, advisors, houseparents, and staff. Outside of class time, they coach sports, participate in activities, offer extra help, and mentor students. Many teachers live right on campus or within walking distance. Students are paired with an Advisor (faculty or staff), who will be advocates and supporters throughout the year. They meet in small groups every Thursday morning to discuss current events, social issues, academic challenges, or personal growth. The relationship is also academically-oriented – the Advisor will help ensure the student is on the path to success and will communicate with parents as needed. Students are welcome to stop in to see their Advisor any time they wish. Each student's class participation is evaluated on a bi-weekly basis. These ratings serve several purposes: they encourage students to do their best every week. They help identify students who may need extra supervision and attention during prep time (homework), and they keep parents informed of their child's progress. The Effort List is posted on a notice board and read aloud in Chapel. It is also available online for parents. View full school

In 1853, the University received a Royal Charter granting it the right to confer degrees.
