Throughout our 150-year history, we’ve prepared leaders in education, the church, law, business, medicine — every aspect of civil society. They have gone on to make significant contributions to Canada and the world beyond.

All are whip smart, motivated and creative, but not all have the same backgrounds and opportunities. To realize our vision to be an elite yet accessible school, Huron is raising the bar to attract more high-academic achievers. And we are opening doors to others with the potential to soar — non-traditional learners, First Nations students, those with special needs and economic challenges. Recruitment, academic awards and bursaries will focus on attracting and retaining a diversity of students, both academically inclined and community minded.
