About · Since 2008
Helping families find the right school.
Top Private Schools is Canada's most comprehensive directory of private and boarding schools — a quiet workshop where editors, school counsellors, and parents collaborate to map every independent school in the country.
We list hundreds of schools across the provinces with rankings, tuition, programs, admissions, and reviews. Our goal is simple: give every family the information they need to make a confident choice — without the marketing gloss.
"The school you choose shapes the adult they become."
Our mission
Accurate, useful, and transparent information about Canadian private schools.
We don't accept payment for ranking placements. Featured listings and sponsored placements are clearly labelled. Editorial coverage is independent of advertiser relationships, and we publish our methodology so you can judge the work for yourself.
How we work
- Independent rankings
- Our Top 25 list is editorially curated using public data, school site visits, and family feedback. Rankings cannot be purchased.
- School-verified profiles
- Tuition, programs, and admissions details are reviewed annually with each school's admissions office. Errors are corrected within 48 hours of being flagged.
- Family-first reviews
- Parent and student reviews are moderated to remove anything off-topic, but we publish the rest as-is — both the praise and the critique.
