Our Values •

We believe that boys come to school to learn and that above all else, we should tend to that with great care. We believe that school should be challenging and meaningful. We believe that knowledge matters; our collective future relies on us knowing more than we do today and acting purposefully on what we learn. We believe that each boy should be known and loved, and that learning takes place within relationships. Our boys bring all of themselves to school. Their unique character should be seen and honoured. We believe joy and laughter belong here. We believe that boys can be good and ambitious at the same time. They should be held to a high standard. Sometimes, pushing our boys to be more, to do more, or to act more thoughtfully and courageously, is the most loving thing we can do as adults. Here, boys are held accountable for their choices. We believe in character and in doing the right thing. We believe in caring for one another, in integrity and putting others before ourselves. We continue to be inspired by our founders who insisted that “Manners Maketh Men.” We believe that boys should ask spiritual questions. These questions are central to a full and purposeful life. All are welcome here: we celebrate our diverse and multi-faith community and honour our Anglican traditions. We believe that scholarship and service are twin aims. Whenever we can, we make connections with the city and world beyond our gate, to learn from others and to share what we have learned, and to serve wherever we can help. We believe in being a positive force in the world, and that knowledge and duty grow together.
This is our Code. We are Georgians.
About Us RSGC is an independent boys’ day school located in a residential area in the heart of Toronto. The majority of our students live in the Greater Toronto Area and most Senior School students travel to and from school by public transit. The school was founded in 1964 as an Anglican boys’ choir school. There are approximately 280 students enrolled in the Senior School (Grades 9–12) and 160 in the Junior School (Grades 3-8). The school year runs from Labour Day to mid-June and is divided into two terms, with formal reports in early February and mid-June.
Our Community RSGC is distinguished by its people and by a reputation built on commitment and integrity. RSGC students are talented, spirited and focused; they seek and value the learning experiences that will support others and better themselves. Our teachers are skilled in their practice, dedicated and nurturing; they are passionate about their roles in education and in guiding young men. Parents and Old Boys actively maintain their connection to the school; they are committed to its mission and its time-honoured traditions.
