Upper Canada College (UCC), one of North America’s most prestigious boarding schools, is located in Toronto. Founded in 1829, it is an all-boys school, combining tradition and academic excellence with state-of-the-art facilities. UCC offers as IB World School the full IB programme, spanning from pre-k to year 12. Students can access a host of facilities, such as two ice hockey rinks, a modern gym, a theatre, music studios, and state-of-the-art laboratories. The school highly values leadership qualities and social responsibility, which is also reflected in a plethora of after-school activities and conferences, e.g. UCC’s annual World Affairs Conference, Canada’s oldest student-led conference, which attracts speakers from all over the world.
