Branksome Hall is a leading International Baccalaureate (IB) World School for girls. Established in 1903 in Toronto, Canada, Branksome is an independent, university-preparatory school whose exemplary liberal arts curriculum prepares its graduates to be creative thinkers and problem solvers. All students, from Junior Kindergarten through Grade 12, follow the IB curriculum: • Primary Years Programme (JK–Grade 6) • Middle Years Programme (Grades 7–10) • Diploma Programme (Grades 11–12) All Branksome Hall students take IB Diploma courses in Grades 11 and 12, and students are eligible to complete both the IB Diploma and the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) which makes our graduates uniquely prepared for the rigor of a university education.
IN AND OF THE CITY OF TORONTO Our graduates represent the cultural diversity of the city as Branksome Hall is located in midtown Toronto, with many students taking public transit to school. Toronto has long been recognized as one of the most multicultural cities in the world, with more than 230 different nationalities, approximately 200 different languages spoken and 140 different neighbourhoods of distinct character and vibrancy.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT For thousands of years, the land on which Branksome operates has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and go to school on this land.
