Established in 1903, Branksome Hall is Toronto's only all-girls school to offer the full International Baccalaureate (IB) continuum from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12. The school is located in the beautiful residential neighborhood of Rosedale and occupies a 13-acre campus that blends historic architecture with state-of-the-art modern facilities. Branksome's mission is to challenge and inspire girls to love learning and to shape a better world.
The curriculum is designed to foster critical thinking, creativity, and intercultural understanding. Branksome Hall is particularly notable for its 'Branksome Global' initiatives, including a sister campus in South Korea (Branksome Hall Asia), which provides students with unique exchange and international collaboration opportunities. The school places a high priority on STEM subjects, the arts, and athletics, ensuring a well-rounded development for every student.
The campus features the Athletics and Wellness Centre, which includes two saltwater pools, a high-performance fitness center, and yoga studios.
