Kingsway College is a private, Christian, boarding, and day-to-co-ed high school (Grades 9-12). It is located in Oshawa, Ontario, and is owned and operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Our mission is to reflect Jesus Christ and prepare students for His service. Our program is designed to develop the whole person, focusing on the student's academic, spiritual, physical, and social aspects. Kingsway College's history began in 1903 in Lorne Park, a beautiful fruit farming area fifteen miles west of Toronto. By 1911, larger buildings and more equipment were necessary to meet the growing student body's needs, and after some deliberation, the present site in Oshawa was chosen. The school renamed Buena Vista Academy because of Oshawa and Lake Ontario's beautiful view, opened in the fall of 1912. That year the school was conducted in temporary quarters because the new site had only one stone house and two barns.
