Ross House

The only real difference between a day and boarding student is that the day student goes to their own home at the end of the day. While day students are able to leave campus any time after their last sport or activity commitment from Monday to Saturday, they are welcomed and encouraged to take advantage of the academic resources and supports available to all students. Day students are also encouraged to take part in all other activities throughout the school week and weekends.

Day students are integrated and integral members of the BCS community. Our campus is the hub for the majority of activities for day and boarding students. During the academic day our boarding and day students hang out in the Student Centre. Day students also take part in the new-student orientation and all the same activities throughout the school year as our boarding students.  

During the school day, all students hang out around campus in our Quad and in our Student Centre. Since our residences are closed for all students throughout the academic day, the Student Centre often becomes the social hub. It features Ping-Pong and foosball tables, often leading to fun competitions among the students! The library is a popular space to study or to complete group work.

Ross House also has their own lounge space featuring comfy chairs and couches as well as a locker area underneath the Dining Hall where they can store their belongings during the day.

Each day student, is assigned their own houseparent and faculty advisor at the beginning of the school year. These individuals get to know our day students well and are great resources for families should any questions arise.

In addition, every student at BCS is supported by an incredible network of staff and faculty. All students have access to our infirmary, our school counsellor, our physiotherapist, and more.
