School Profile
Welcome to Trafalgar Castle School, an all-girls, independent day and boarding school for grades 4 through 12. Located in Whitby, Ontario, we've been educating girls since 1874 within a warm and progressive community that offers exceptional academics and prepares young women to make a difference in the world.
Imagine. A historic building with large sun-filled rooms, a beautiful and safe campus, weekend adventures, and hallways filled with laughter and friendship. That's what you'll find in boarding at Trafalgar Castle School. We understand that moving away from home is a big decision. Helping each boarder adjust to life in a new place is our top priority. Our community of caring and trained professionals ensures the health, wellness and happiness of each and every girl who calls Trafalgar Castle School her home.
As a small school, we commit to knowing each and every girl. Our Head of School, Dr. Foster resides on campus with her family, and is a frequent visitor in boarding. She often drops by the Dining Hall during dinner or stops in to say hello on the weekends, ensuring that boarding life always runs smoothly. In addition, we have a full complement of staff dedicated to our boarding program.
