Middle School Facilities and Spaces
The Middle School is located on our beautiful Richmond Road campus and offers students access to state-of-the-art educational, recreation and community facilities.
The new three-storey, 13,000-square-foot Considine Annex includes four additional math and humanities classrooms, an art room overlooking the fields, an Applied Design, Skills and Technologies (ADST) space, breakout rooms and flexible areas for learning and collaboration. At its centre is the Hayes Family Learning Commons, a welcoming hub where students can read, research, work together and access dedicated Learning Resources support.
The original Middle School building has also undergone extensive renovations. Updated spaces include new band, strings and music rooms with dedicated practice and instrument-storage areas; modern change rooms, including gender-neutral facilities; refreshed classrooms; and an expanded counselling suite with a sensory room and quiet lounge. Renovated reception, administration and staff areas support the adults who guide students throughout their Middle School experience. Dedicated science and robotics spaces will add further opportunities for hands-on learning as the final phases of the project are completed.
The Middle School shares a campus and many facilities with the Senior School, for Grade 9-12 students.
The central building on the Richmond Road campus is School House. School House is a stunning heritage building, recognized for its historic and architectural value. Once a boarding house, it’s now home to many campus services, including our Campus Shop. It also houses two more state-of-the-art Middle School math and language classrooms.
The Sun Centre is our newest building on campus. It’s home to our stately dining hall and beautiful student commons. Once students reach Grade 9, it’s where they will find our University Counselling and Senior School Personal Counselling departments.
The 135-seat Copeland Lecture Theatre is one of the cultural centres of the campus. It’s where students gather for guest speakers, presentations, performances and more.
Monkman Athletic Complex is home to all things sports. Inside you’ll find two gymnasiums, including three full-size basketball courts, a fitness centre and four squash courts. Just outside, at the front of our campus, are our sports fields. There are four, beautifully manicured fields where students play soccer, rugby, lacrosse and more. It’s also where you’ll find our Middle School students playing during recess and lunch.
There’s also an outdoor quad which features many great spots where students can socialize. The Christine Duke Theatre is an amphitheatre-style space, often used for concerts and explosive science experiments.
We have an on-campus Chapel, deemed the centre of community on campus. Chapel serves as a place for students to reflect, listen and learn from other cultures. We are a non-denominational school that welcomes all faiths and beliefs.
