Why Fieldstone King's College School?
Families who want their child to apply to universities in Canada and in other countries, including the United Kingdom, often look for a dual academic program. The school suits these families because it combines the Ontario diploma with Cambridge qualifications. Its Dufferin Street campus serves only high school grades, it emphasizes small classes and a supportive learning environment, and it is inspected by the Ontario Ministry of Education.
- Students targeting several countries: Those who want a background compatible with the British system alongside the Canadian one.
- Students seeking academic intensity: Families who want an exam-based program that goes beyond the standard curriculum.
- Students living in Toronto: Families looking for a day school where the student lives with family or a host family.
Reasons: what makes Fieldstone different
This section is based on information from the school's official admissions and program pages. Each point is followed by what it means for the student.
- Dual curriculum: The school delivers the Ontario curriculum alongside Cambridge International, so students can sit IGCSE and AS/A Level exams in addition to earning the OSSD.
- Cambridge recognition: The school holds the Cambridge Showcase School title for 2024–2027, so the program is reviewed within an international framework.
- Ministry oversight: Because the school is inspected by the Ontario Ministry of Education, credits earned count toward the provincial diploma.
- Level placement: Admission includes an English and math entrance assessment, so students are placed in courses that match their level.
- Transparent fees: The 2026–27 international student fee of CAD 33,160 is published, so families can plan their budget in advance.
- K–12 continuity: The sister campus, Fieldstone Day School, runs from kindergarten through Grade 8, so younger siblings can attend within the same institution.

Outcome: what it means for the student
Running two separate qualification systems in one school keeps a student's university options open until the last moment. In practical terms:
- Broad application scope: A student can prepare university applications in several countries using both a Canadian diploma and Cambridge results.
- Exam discipline: Preparing for external exams builds study habits that help at university.
- Predictable costs: Tuition and additional fees are known in advance.
- Appropriate placement: The entrance assessment helps prevent a student from starting with a course load they cannot manage.
Benefit analysis: what the investment buys
The student works toward the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), taught and assessed by certified Canadian teachers.
Every lesson, club and team runs in English, which turns English into a working language rather than a school subject.
A screened homestay family provides a private room, meals and daily support, and the school monitors the placement.
Clubs, teams and community activities let the student build a profile beyond grades.

|---|---|---|
| Annual investment | CAD 33,160 | Headline annual tuition, from the cost analysis above |
| Per school month | CAD 3,316 | Over a 10-month school year |
| Price position | +CAD 8,780 | vs. median CAD 24,380 · 16 private schools, tuition only |

| Language support | Immersion | No separate ESL program in our data; we confirm with the school |
| Value verdict | Premium |
CAD 8,780 above the median across 16 private schools, tuition only. The higher price is worth it when the student will use what it pays for: homestay.
Who it suits and what to consider
- No boarding: The school has no residence. A student without family in Toronto needs homestay accommodation, and a custodian must be arranged separately for students under 17.
- Additional fees: The application fee is CAD 250, the one-time registration fee CAD 3,500, the activity fee CAD 770, books and materials CAD 800–1,000, and graduation CAD 250. Families should confirm current fees with the school before applying.
- Academic workload: Running two programs at once requires intensive study, and students with weaker English may struggle at first.
Practical notes
The application file requires the last two years of report cards, a recommendation letter from a teacher or principal, and vaccination records. Allow time for translating documents. To have Cambridge and OSSD credentials recognized in the student's home country, the application is made to that country's education authority.
