Why Royal Crown School?
Few schools in Toronto offer both a residence and start dates at several points in the year. The school is one of those that international students consider when they want to stay on one campus from middle school through to graduation.
- An early start: Families who want to introduce their child to the Canadian system from grade 7 or 8 look at this school.
- The security of a residence: For parents seeking supervised accommodation in Toronto, the residence program is the deciding factor.
- Sports and academics: Students who want to continue basketball, hockey or golf alongside their high school studies show interest.
Reasons: the features that set Royal Crown School apart
According to the information the school itself publishes, the main factors in an international student's decision are:
- OSSD program: Graduates receive the Ontario Secondary School Diploma, a high school credential recognized by Canadian and international universities.
- AP courses: Academically strong students can add university-level courses to strengthen their applications.
- ESL and placement testing: International students submit an IELTS or TOEFL result or take the school's own placement test, so they start at the right level.
- Residence program: It is open to both local and international students, so housing and school life fall under one institution.
- Campus and surroundings: The facility of roughly 10,000 square metres sits beside Brimley Woods Park, giving students a green setting in a large city.
- Sports programs: Separate basketball, hockey and golf programs let athletes train alongside their academic schedule.

Outcome: what it means for the student and family
This structure has concrete benefits, especially for families considering sending a child at a young age and as a boarder.
- A continuous path: Students can progress from grade 7 to grade 12 without changing schools, so they avoid readjusting each year.
- University preparation: OSSD and AP courses together form a strong base for applications to Canadian and overseas universities.
- A single point of contact: Education and accommodation are handled by the same institution, so parents deal with one school administration.

Who it suits and what to consider
- Suitability: Students who want to board in Toronto, improve their English within the school and start mid-year.
- Fees: Fee figures could not be confirmed on the school's own website. A third-party guide (doris.school) lists about CAD 25,800 per year for tuition and CAD 24,500 for residence with meals, without a consistent academic year. Current fees must be confirmed with the school before applying, and the budget should be planned accordingly.
Students under 17 who arrive without their parents must have a custodian appointed in Canada. To determine which intake and grade suit your child, you can book a free preliminary assessment meeting with the consultants of Canadian Edu Centre.
