Welcome to RSGC Senior School
A Message from Paul O’Leary, Head of Senior School
At the Senior School at RSGC, students in Grades 9 through 12 engage in a rigorous, university preparatory program designed to challenge, inspire, and equip them for their futures. Whether pursuing Advanced Placement (AP®) courses, the prestigious AP Capstone™ Diploma, or university-level courses in Grade 12, our students graduate ready to thrive in top post-secondary institutions in Canada and around the world.
At RSGC, academic excellence goes hand in hand with personal growth. Our Senior School builds self esteem and confidence, encouraging each boy to become the best version of himself. Our unique curriculum—offered in a warm and supportive environment—includes a rich mix of electives and signature programs. One such program is choral music, a long-standing and defining feature of RSGC school life.
The Georgian Experience is about more than only what happens in the classroom. Senior School students are encouraged to explore all aspects of their identity—social, personal, intellectual, and spiritual. Outdoor education, athletics, drama, art, community service, and student-led clubs all contribute to a well-rounded education grounded in character and purpose.
Above all, we aim to graduate young adults who think critically, welcome challenge, and contribute meaningfully to the world around them. We look forward to meeting you and your child.

Inspiring students to reach higher
Royal St. George’s College is a university preparatory school. We have a proud tradition of teaching excellence and success in preparing young men to enter the academic program and university of their choice. RSGC is a nurturing community that supports students throughout their years in the Senior School. Each of these years has a grade coordinator to ensure that each student reaches their full academic and personal potential.
Grades 9 and 10 – Discovery
The first two years in the Senior School are all about discovery of interests, learning styles and, of course, friendships. Though there is a wide breadth of courses to choose from in Grade 10, as students begin to choose a pathway for future pursuits in Grade 11, the choice becomes narrower. The emphasis on discovery in Grade 9 and 10 (through guided support from teachers, advisors, administrators, and parents) is the trademark of this transition period in the Senior School.
Grades 11 and 12 – Rigorous Curriculum
In students’ final two years at the Senior School, they begin to differentiate their programs of study from their peers. We offer a strong and diverse breadth of AP® courses, which complement an already rigorous curriculum. Many pathways are highlighted, including engineering, computer science, arts, world studies, literature, kinesiology, finance and economics, and health sciences. Boys are supported by their advisors, peers, teachers and administrators in their quest for a pathway toward future endeavours.
Academic Enrichment
Students looking for enrichment will find teachers who are capable of meeting their needs within the traditional classroom environment. Students excelling in various areas of the curriculum are met with challenging and enriched experiences. Many of our courses offer opportunities to explore concepts beyond ministry requirements taught by a committed faculty who challenge students individually.
