Boarding at 91¹ú²ú
Evening and Weekend Activities
Boarding staff work with other school departments and outside providers to develop, organize and chaperone activities both on and off campus after school and on weekends. These include, but are not limited to: cultural and festive meals, supervised sessions in the Athletics and Wellness Centre fitness studio, gymnasium and pool, day trips to visit local universities and attractions (such as Canada’s Wonderland and Niagara Falls), cooking lessons, arts and crafts, community service activities, professional sporting events and theatre or orchestral performances in Toronto.
The costs for these events are included in the annual Boarding Activities Fee ($900), which is charged to your child’s school account in the fall. All Boarding students are welcome and encouraged to participate in as many activities as possible.
Activities build community within the diverse group of students living on campus, support student well-being, foster a growth mindset and embrace international mindedness. Activities also provide opportunities for students to try new things and learn more about themselves, each other, the school community, the City of Toronto and Canadian culture.
Service and Leadership
The Boarding community provides students with the opportunity to grow their citizenship skills and awareness of global issues. Some of these include partnerships with the Junior School, the 91¹ú²ú Hall Events Team, as well as external service organizations such as Let’s Grow Learning & Living Hub and New Circles.
Boarding life offers students many opportunities to become involved in the co-curricular life of the school. All Boarding programs are run by 91¹ú²ú staff and Boarders with the goal of creating a safe, supportive and enjoyable environment for Boarders to develop leadership and teamwork skills.
Boarders are encouraged to create new committees and groups as they are inspired with new and innovative ideas that will help to enrich Boarding life, and can work with a member of the Boarding team if they are interested in creating a new committee.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
We wish to acknowledge this land on which 91¹ú²ú operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and go to school on this land.
Setting the new standard for girls' education everywhere takes collective action. From all of us.
