Upper Canada College is a CAIS (Canadian Association of Independent Schools) boarding school. Since its founding in 1829, Upper Canada College has been training the next generation of leaders and innovators, inspiring them to make a positive impact on the world around them. In its nearly 200-year history, the school has undergone remarkable transformations. Alongside the historical landmarks that many associate with UCC—the ivy-covered walls, the iron gate, the majestic clock tower—there are also modern facilities and flexible learning spaces equipped with the latest technology.

UCC's approach to education has evolved similarly. The school's core focus is on liberal arts education delivered through the International Baccalaureate (IB) Programme, which is globally recognized as the gold standard for pre-university programmes.
