Inspiring Lifelong Learning

Through the IB Continuum, UCC students follow their talents and interests, “learning how to learn” by developing transferable and enduring skills in thinking, research, communication, social skills and self-management.

Leading the Way
 

UCC's learning program is at the forefront of innovative developments in education. A rigorous academic foundation is complemented by a commitment to helping students learn and apply mindsets of systems and design thinking along with technology skills. Additionally, we're growing our leadership-building capacities through whole-school programming in the aim of becoming a centre of excellence in youth leadership development.

UCC’s 
IB Advantage  

UCC is the first IB Continuum World School for boys in North America. 

The IB at UCC develops inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through education that builds intercultural understanding and respect.

Our continuum takes students through the Primary Years Programme, the Middle Years Programme and the Diploma Programme for Years 11 and 12.

 

Three distinct IB DP Graduation Pathways are offered to prepare students for a wide range of postsecondary studies.

Students are eligible for the Ontario Secondary School Diploma, the IB Diploma and IB course certificates, and are exceptionally well-prepared for top-tier university destinations — where they thrive.
