Bishop Strachan School, independent, day & boarding school in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Bishop Strachan School is a private school for girls located on Lonsdale Road in Old Toronto, offering education from kindergarten through 12th grade. The campus features historic stone buildings alongside modern facilities, with classrooms, gardens, playgrounds, and open spaces designed for different age groups.
The school was founded in 1867 and moved several times throughout the city before settling in its current Forest Hill location in 1915. Major renovations in 2017 added new classrooms, a large gymnasium, and an underground expansion wing.
The school takes its name from an Anglican bishop and reflects its religious roots through its Latin motto. Students spend their days collaborating in classrooms and creative spaces, building friendships and learning to work together across their shared campus.
The campus is located in a quiet residential neighborhood and is easily accessible by foot or bicycle. Be aware that this is an active school environment, so access to certain areas may be limited during the school day.
The building features Gothic architecture with Credit Valley limestone walls and was originally constructed near the Art Gallery of Toronto in 1867 before relocating to its current site. The school colors of burgundy, white, black, and gray along with its bobcat mascot have defined school identity for generations.
