Stratford Hall Prospectus

For Those Who Expect More Than a Traditional Education

Stratford Hall is like no other school. A K - Gr. 12 Continuum School, we educate students to the highest global standards through the programmes of the International Baccalaureate.

Beyond the Traditional

We are focused on the educational needs you want for your child: a safe and caring environment that delivers a quality academic programme to feed their natural curiosity, build their character, nurture their analytical skills and judgment, and provide them with a global awareness and perspective.

Stratford Hall educates students to the highest global standards through the programmes of the International Baccalaureate.

Our Mission

Excellence and confidence are developed through a challenging academic curriculum with further emphasis on creativity, action and service. We foster a strong pluralistic community built on integrity and respect.

Stratford Hall strives to be a global leader in the International Baccalaureate community. Our students will gain a deep understanding of the world around them, and they will act on their connections to the outside community. They will excel to the best of their abilities, and graduates will be equipped to achieve their chosen goals. This is accomplished by acquiring and retaining the best teachers, and by a commitment to a balanced and enriched curriculum. The success of Stratford Hall is deeply rooted in the establishment of a supportive, knowledgeable and committed community.

Our Vision

At Stratford Hall, students have the opportunity to participate in a diverse range of activities and clubs, many of which are student-initiated and led.

Through clubs — such as Model United Nations, yearbook, drama and our STEM club for girls — students can extend their academic interests, explore new creative avenues, and contribute to their school community in meaningful ways.

Athletics are a significant co-curricular aspect of student life.
