Trafalgar Castle School’s unique five-day boarding program offers students in Grades 7 to 12 a chance to immerse themselves in a boarding experience throughout the week - and return home for the weekend.
As a five-day boarder, you’ll spend Sunday through Thursday night at the Castle and go home after classes finish on Friday.
This hybrid approach offers the best of both worlds, and a chance to form close connections and friendships with students from around the corner and around the world. Our boarding students have the opportunity to participate more in school life and experience an enhanced academic focus - and it’s a great ‘in between’ step before you graduate and leave home for post-secondary programs.
It gives you the best of both worlds. Experience the best of boarding & school life with the comforts of home on weekends.
Be prepared for life away from home after graduation. Foster independence, responsibility and accountability, while growing time management, planning and study skills.
Two words: friendships and community. Form lifelong friendships with students from around the world and grow an appreciation and understanding of diverse cultures and people.
Experience an immersive academic focus and discover more opportunities to participate in school-based activities.
Live in a 150 year old castle. Experience this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
