Albert College

Albert College is a welcoming and inclusive day and boarding school in Belleville, Ontario. Not only does Albert College have a stellar reputation for preparing young people for university and for life, but it is also recognized for developing global citizens within a close family environment.

As a small school, Albert provides opportunities for its students which would be impossible in a larger school. With a focus on the 5 'A's - Academics, Arts, Athletics, Active Citizenship and Adventure - our students have an incredibly wide array of curricular and co-curricular opportunities. Our objective is to help students polish talents and discover new ones, all within a caring and nurturing environment that values individuality, compassion, integrity, diversity and inclusion, and optimism.

Albert College’s boarding experience fosters accountability, initiative and organizational skills. Self-confidence, a growing sense of independence and lasting friendships are the results of living in our supportive environment. Our boarding students will learn about other cultures and make lifelong friends while also learning a great deal about themselves as individuals. The students and staff at Albert will soon become an extended family, studying, learning, working, playing and growing together. On the weekends, boarding students enjoy organized activities supervised by boarding staff. Students are encouraged to get involved, step outside their comfort zone and try something new.

Our Mission

• Support faculty and staff in the mastery of their professions
• Create a dynamic culture of learning supported by innovative technology and infrastructure

Our Values

Individuality: We respect each other for our unique talents, we expect excellence in ourselves, and we actively encourage the pursuit of personal bests by others.

Compassion: As a small family school, we are sensitive to the needs and the feelings of each member of the community, exhibiting empathy and humility in our dealings with one another and with the world around us.

Integrity: We are accountable for our actions, and we act with honesty and integrity in our dealings with one another and with the broader community.

Diversity and Inclusion: As an international community of learners, we celebrate the contributions each member brings to the whole in everything we do. By honouring both our similarities and our differences, we forge a united identity, and strive to ensure ours is a safe and welcoming community for all.

Optimism: We are positive about the future and are committed to contributing to a healthy society and planet.

Albert College has been called home by many generations of students, both boarding and day.

The students and staff at Albert will soon become your extended family. Albert College offers boarding to students from Grades 7 to 12. A 'home away from home' to students from around the world, Albert College provides its students with the unique opportunity to live with and learn about other cultures.

We strive to develop an academic program suited to each student, one that will challenge and enable students to achieve ambitious post-secondary goals. Our graduates consistently receive offers from the university or college of their choice, attending top universities in Canada and abroad.

Structured independence in a safe, nurturing environment is what makes Albert's boarding program unique. Students who have had the opportunity to live away from home for the first time during high school often have a smoother transition to post-secondary studies. Boarding in a familiar, nurturing environment provides students with the opportunity to safely explore their independence. Boarding options include full-time for international students, and multi-day boarding (one to five days) for students based in Canada wishing to stay in boarding during the week so they can fully participate in school life.

Our students learn to embrace and respect the culture and the diversity of their peers. In addition to the 5 'A's of Albert College (Academics, Arts, Athletics, Adventure and Active Citizenship), our experienced boarding staff assist our students to become leaders of their generations. Our boarding students create special bonds that will last a lifetime.
