Comments: UCC was founded in 1829. Modeled after the great English private schools, UCC has long enjoyed a reputation as one of Canada's finest K-12 schools. It is an International Baccalaureate school which takes its role as a college preparatory institution very seriously. UCC graduates matriculate to colleges and universities at home and abroad.

While 90% of the school population is day students, the academic, athletic and extracurricular programs bind the school together as a community in a very powerful way.

Disclaimer: My three nephews attended UCC. They got a fine education. UCC is the quintessential, fine old boys' school.
