Boarding at Trafalgar Castle School is available for girls in Grade 7-12. Trafalgar Castle Residence is a home away from home that provides an essentially different experience because students and teachers interact in significant ways both in and out of the classroom. Learning is not limited to academics; learning takes place after class, in the Residence, in the Gym, and during play and leisure.

The Boarders at Trafalgar Castle School come from many different countries. There are also many Canadian boarders who reside in other parts of Ontario. This vast diversity in the boarding population creates an opportunity for all the students to learn other cultures and beliefs.

For more information about boarding in general, we encourage you to visit www.boardingschools.com.

Our weekend programme is constantly evolving and reflects the interests of the girls in Residence. Our weekend activities are designed with a variety of adventures for everyone. From hockey games to theatrical performances, activities are created to enrich the girls' overall boarding life experience.

All of our weekend activities are properly supervised. Enrolment and permission forms are required well in advance.

For many parents of international students who do not have a Canadian guardian, holiday weekends present a challenge when the School closes and their daughters must make alternate arrangements. At Trafalgar Castle School, we offer optional supervised trips which cover the five long-weekend closures during the academic year.

These trips add to the students overall boarding experience by offering further exposure to Canadian culture. There is a nominal charge for this programme which covers all the travel, activities, meals and accommodations.

The trips are to Ottawa, Toronto, Quebec City, Montreal and Niagara Falls.

Trafalgar Castle Residence is home to approximately one-third of the population of our school. The Castle becomes their home away from home, where the Residence staff, roommates and friends become an essential part of their lives. 

We also believe that providing the girls a chance to stay with a day student’s family away from the school, is a great experience for them when they are missing their own homes. Our Host Family Program enables the residents to stay with a day student’s family for a couple of days and experience some of the comforts of home. In turn, families learn a lot about the life and customs of their weekend boarder.

We are always looking for volunteer families who would like to get involved. If you are interested in signing up for this program, or if you would like more information, please contact Carmen Holland at hollandc@castle-ed.com.

The Residence at Trafalgar provides an excellent opportunity for our day students to stay in the Castle while their parents are away on business or pleasure.

The girls get immersed in the Residence Life with other boarders, and gain valuable experience about independency.

The stay includes accommodations, meals, supervised study time, weekday and weekend activities etc...

Next time you are looking for a safe place for your daughter to stay, please consider Trafalgar Residence.
