    Welcome Message

    At Upper Canada College, we provide transformational learning experiences founded in an inquiry-based, concept-driven approach to education. We start by generating questions around universal themes, to spark boys' natural curiosity and broaden their thinking. We then explore ideas and issues raised by these lines of inquiry across school subjects, guiding students to make connections between their school work and the real world, both locally and globally.
