Vision, Mission, & Values

We believe that boys come to school to learn and that above all else, we should tend to that with great care. We believe that school should be challenging and meaningful. We believe that knowledge matters; our collective future relies on us knowing more than we do today and acting purposefully on what we learn.

We believe that each boy should be known and loved and that learning takes place within relationships. Our boys bring all of themselves to school. Their unique character should be seen and honoured. We believe joy and laughter belong here.

We believe that boys can be good and ambitious at the same time. They should be held to a high standard. Sometimes, pushing our boys to be more, to do more, or to act more thoughtfully and courageously, is the most loving thing we can do as adults. Here, boys are held accountable for their choices.

We believe in character and in doing the right thing. We believe in caring for one another, in integrity and putting others before ourselves. We continue to be inspired by our founders who insisted that “Manners Maketh Men.”

We believe that boys should ask spiritual questions. These questions are central to a full and purposeful life. All are welcome here: we celebrate our diverse and multi-faith community and honour our Anglican traditions.  

We believe in the value of our differences, in listening to diverse voices, and in taking actions on our journey towards a more just world. We know the future cannot replicate the past. We are committed to cultivate a more inclusive and equitable school.

We believe that scholarship and service are twin aims. Whenever we can, we make connections with the city and world beyond our gate, to learn from others and to share what we have learned, and to serve wherever we can help. We believe in being a positive force in the world, and that knowledge and duty grow together.
