Yes, we are a co-ed school! After a long and proud history of being an all-boys school, the College made the decision to include girls when the school re-privatized in 1994.
Currently, our enrollment is approximately 50/50 split amongst boys and girls across each grade, although it does vary depending on enrollment and applicants.

Approximate Available Spots by Entry Grade:
- Grade 5: 36
- Grade 6: 4
- Grade 7: 26
- Grade 9: 50-55
