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 (numbers differ slightly depending on the year):

Grade 5:  36 

Grade 6: 4
