Rosedale Preparatory School

Rosedale Preparatory School is a distinguished independent school in one of Toronto's most established residential neighbourhoods, serving students from Junior Kindergarten through Grade 8. The school follows the Ontario curriculum enriched with a strong emphasis on character education, the arts, and physical development, preparing graduates for admission to the city's leading secondary schools. The school holds membership in the Canadian Accredited Independent Schools (CAIS), a mark of quality that confirms adherence to rigorous standards of governance, teaching, and student welfare. It is also registered and inspected by the Ontario Ministry of Education, ensuring that all graduates meet provincial curriculum expectations and are fully prepared for the transition to secondary education. The Rosedale campus occupies a heritage property complemented by modern additions. Facilities include a well-stocked library, dedicated science laboratory, art studio with kiln, music room equipped for both instrumental and choral instruction, a sports hall, and landscaped outdoor play areas. The school makes regular use of the surrounding Rosedale ravine trails for nature-based learning and outdoor education. The academic programme balances structured instruction with inquiry-based projects. French is taught from JK as a core subject, reflecting Canada's official bilingual status and providing a strong foundation for students who may pursue French Immersion or the DELF certification in secondary school. Small class sizes of 16 to 18 students allow teachers to differentiate instruction and provide individualized feedback. Extracurricular offerings include competitive sports teams in cross-country, basketball, and volleyball through independent school leagues, as well as drama productions, choir, coding club, and a student leadership programme. The school also runs a robust outdoor education programme with overnight trips beginning in Grade 4. Tuition fees range from CAD 20,000 to CAD 35,000 per year. The school offers needs-based financial assistance to ensure accessibility. Applications are accepted year-round, with the primary intake in September.
