The 
Learning 
Journey

At UCC we strive for excellence and celebrate accomplishment — and we value learning as a journey, not a destination. The International Baccalaureate provides the best curricular framework for university admission, lifelong success and active citizenship.

YEAR 4 AT THE PREP

Classes:
French, History, Math, English, Science, Music, Art

BEYOND THE CLASSROOM:
Soccer, Hockey, Track and Field

PYP HIGHLIGHT:
“I did a project on Quebec, because my family makes maple syrup and 91 per cent of Canada’s supply is produced there. I had fun discovering new things about another province.”

FUN UCC MEMORY:
“Experiencing all the amazing nature at the Norval Outdoor School on a trip with my class.”

I started at UCC in Year 2 and immediately felt at home. I love it here and never want to leave!

PYP
Learning in Action

The PYP culminates in Year 5 with the Exhibition, where students undertake transdisciplinary projects based on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Students work in teams to explore aspects of the 17 SDGs, which include ending poverty and hunger, promoting good health and wellbeing, and ensuring access to affordable and clean energy.

With the support of teachers and mentors, each student pursues his own line of inquiry within the SDG, writing an inquiry question, researching the topic and determining an action that could make a difference. Previous PYP projects have resulted in charitable food drives and park cleanups.

Opportunities Abound

While our reputation for academic excellence is what grounds us, the stunning range of opportunities outside the classroom is what truly distinguishes the UCC experience.

BEYOND THE CLASSROOM

Flourish

From archery to improv to the oldest student-run World Affairs Conference in North America, there's a club for every student at UCC.

Opportunities are boundless for students keen to get involved in co-curricular activities beyond the classroom. Clubs at UCC operate seamlessly with the support of students and faculty alike and cast a wide net across topics, themes, and passions. If a desired club doesn't yet exist, we encourage our boys to create a space where friends can gather to expand their knowledge and build lasting friendships.
