Five-Day Boarding Admissions

Live Where You Learn

Trafalgar Castle School’s unique Five-Day Boarding Program
offers students in Grades 7-12 the best of both worlds: the
experience of life away

Join Our Open House

There’s no substitute for feeling the unique energy of Trafalgar Castle School. Join us at our next in-person Open House, or contact our Admissions Team to bring your child to the Castle and see for yourself all we have to offer.

Upcoming Open Houses: October 17, 2024

Five-day Boarding students spend Sunday through Thursday night at the Castle and return home once the school day ends on Friday.

Open to domestic students whose parent(s) live in Ontario, this hybrid approach provides students with close connections and friendships with students from across Canada and around the world. Through Five-Day Boarding, students build the skills they need to live on their own during their post-secondary chapter. They develop independence and accountability and learn to balance studying with after-school activities and socialization.

5 Reasons to Choose Five-Day Boarding

It gives you the best of both worlds: experiencing boarding and school life during the week with the comforts of home on weekends.

It prepares you for life away from home after graduation. Independence, responsibility, accountability and time management are just a few skills you’ll develop.

You’ll experience an immersive academic focus and discover more opportunities to participate in school-based activities.

You’ll form lifelong friendships with students from around the world and develop an appreciation and understanding of diverse cultures and people.

You’ll have the once-in-a-lifetime chance to live in a 150-year-old Castle!
