Albert College

Albert College is a wonderful day and international co-educational boarding school, steeped in history and tradition. Not only does it have a stellar reputation for preparing young people for university and for life, but Albert College is also recognized for developing global citizens within a close family environment. The international makeup of Albert College helps foster understanding and tolerance. As technological advances continue to make our world truly a global village, what better environment could there be in which to prepare students for the world that awaits them? 

As a small boarding and day 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 in these areas. Our objective is to help students polish talents and discover new ones all within a caring and nurturing environment that values individuality, compassion, integrity, and inclusiveness.

You can find our beautiful 25-acre campus in Belleville, Ontario. Belleville is located on Lake Ontario with easy access to Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal. Words and pictures can only begin to tell the story. It is my hope that after browsing online, you will visit us in person; you'll be glad that you did!

Our Mission

To inspire excellence in the 5 'A's: Academics, Arts, Athletics, Active Citizenship and Adventure through commitment to:

• Educating Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 12 students from Canada and around the world
• Inspiring students to become leaders of character through pursuit of the 5 'A's
• Supporting faculty and staff in the mastery of their professions and in the pursuit of teaching excellence
• Creating a dynamic culture of learning supported by innovative technology and infrastructure
• Honouring our past while preparing our students for their future.

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 all accountable for our actions, and we act with honesty and integrity in our dealings with one another and with the broader community. 

Inclusiveness - As an international community of learners, we celebrate the contributions each member brings to the whole.  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.

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 both male and female students from Grades 7 to 12. A 'home away from home' to students from across the world, Albert College provides its students with the unique opportunity to understand and learn about other cultures.

Structured independence in a safe, nurturing environment is what makes Albert's five-day 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. Ask us about all of our boarding options.

Our students learn to embrace and respect the culture and the diversity of their peers. In addition to the 5 'As of Albert College (Academics, Arts, Athletics, Adventure and Active Citizenship), our experienced residential staff assist our students to become leaders of their generations. Although students come to Albert College from all over the world, living and learning together creates a special bond that will last a lifetime.
