“Go for it.” “Try it.” These words, heard so often around Trafalgar Castle, encourage students to try out for many different sports. Everyone can find something to enjoy whether it’s a new sport or developing skills on a team. Being a small school means students are less intimidated to try out for teams than they would be in larger schools. We have a strong programme of competitive sports with over sixteen teams that compete all over the Greater Toronto Area.

School spirit begins with the daily morning assembly in the Chapel then soars during lunch when the entire School eats together in the dining room. This is when announcements are made, winning teams are congratulated, achievements are noted, and birthdays are celebrated. “When everyone’s together you can’t help but feel energized,” one student says. “The spirit is contagious.”

Your years at Trafalgar Castle are a time of discovery, a time to learn what makes you special. Maybe you have a knack for painting or a talent for organizing. With only 200 girls, your talents can come out of hiding. Our Fine Arts Programme gives you hands on experience with every medium from drawing and painting to printmaking and sculpture. Our Dramatic Arts Programme exposes you to the fun and excitement of live theatre. Young singers and musicians can take additional music and voice lessons during or after school.

Whatever you want to do, you have the opportunity to try at Trafalgar Castle. Join the S.W.A.T. Team and discover why Science Women Are Terrific. Take on a leadership role with the Social Committee or write for the yearbook. Got a strong opinion? Join the Debate Team. 

A typical day at Trafalgar Castle School begins at 8:05 a.m. when the entire School assembles in the historical Grace Chapel. After a brief meeting it’s off to class. Classes here are small and interactive. Everyone is encouraged to participate and share ideas. Our dedicated teachers provide the highest standards of academic instruction. They’ll help you achieve to the best of your ability no matter what your style of learning.

Before you know it we’re back together again in the dining hall. Everyone agrees that it is great to eat in a friendly, family-like atmosphere. After lunch, there’s time to talk with friends, catch up on reading, or send a quick e-mail home, then it’s time for afternoon classes.

Above and beyond our extensive curriculum there are many workshops and presentations for each grade. Education is not limited to the classroom. Our Grade Six students have four week-long trips to Muskoka Woods Sports’ Resort. Outward Bound is an amazing programme for our Grade Nine students. March Break trips have included Spain, Italy, Greece and Costa Rica. Various theatre trips, trips to art galleries, the Science Centre, Wonderland, ski trips and so many others, ensure your education is well rounded and fun.
