Each day, <em>Branksome Hall</em> challenges and inspires girls to love learning and to shape a better world. An International Baccalaureate World School, <em>Branksome Hall</em> is a leading independent university preparatory school with day and boarding programs for girls. Established in 1903, <em>Branksome Hall</em> is a welcoming community in the heart of Toronto, Canada. We are committed to a liberal arts curriculum that emphasizes critical thinking and values diverse perspectives. The International Baccalaureate curriculum is followed at all grade levels, from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12. The IB programs offered at <em>Branksome Hall</em> are designed for all students seeking an exceptional education that leads to university studies.

Through the IB, a girl can develop her capacity to be highly motivated, reflective, caring and globally minded. Other program strengths include an International Languages Program, an International Student Exchange Program with 16 partner schools worldwide, including Branksome Hall Asia in South Korea, and international community service opportunities in Costa Rica and South Africa.
