Boarding School Handbook 2025-26

Quick Leaves: These are signouts to the Avenue Rd. and Lawrence Ave. shopping area only. Students in Grade 10 may sign out alone for a period of 30 to 45 minutes between 3:30 and 5 pm weekdays. Weekend Curfew The weekend starts at 3:30 pm on Friday. Friday and Saturday evening curfews are listed below by grade. Students must return by their appointed curfew, unless special permission has been granted by the Head of Boarding. For all students, Sunday curfew is 6 pm. Note that there is mandatory study on Sunday from 6:15 to 8:15 pm for all students. Students on an overnight leave with parents or guardians may request to be back by 8 pm. This extension must be pre-approved and reflected on the original approved leave. *Students can request extended time off-campus in advance with the Boarding Staff, but will require parental approval for leaves longer than eight hours. If students find themselves out alone after curfew and with no way to get back to school, the Boarding Staff will come via taxi to pick them up and return to school with them. Leaves Leaves will be granted at the discretion of the Boarding Staff, depending on the current state of health, academic standing and behaviour of each student. For example, if a student has been ill, if there are academic concerns or if behaviour is an issue, leaves may be denied. Students must follow proper sign out procedures before a leave will be granted. If students are continually late to return on their leaves, they may have their leave privileges suspended for a period of time. Students are expected to be present for dinner and study Monday through Thursday, unless permission has been given by Boarding Staff. Students must sign out from the Boarding School Office whenever they leave the building by the REACH application and a face-to-face check-in with the Staff on Duty. They must sign back in with the Staff on Duty in the BSO immediately upon their return. For your safety, it is important that the BSO is aware of student whereabouts at all times. Checking in and out of Boarding requires an in-person conversation upon arrival and departure with staff. Students may not text staff as a check-in. Students must contact the Boarding Staff should they plan to leave the Boarding School to visit other areas of the school. Students wishing to go to the gym, Rotunda, front doors, etc., or to visit with friends on the school grounds must advise Boarding Staff in advance of leaving the Boarding School and change their location on the REACH application. *Students can request permission from Boarding Staff for an extended curfew off-campus in advance, and may require parental approval for leaves longer than eight hours.
