Parent Experience

Community, involvement and what it's like to be a parent at this school

History

Bronte College was established in January 1991 by Dr. Ahsing Chia-Looi in Oakville's Bronte Village, with the campus housed in the Church of the Nazarene that was converted into classrooms, labs, a library, kitchen and activity area. It began with about 60 international students in homestay and offered a pre-University prep program leading to the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). In 1996 Bronte moved to Mississauga, on a site formerly Sheridan College's Nursing Campus, expanding to include a full residence connected to academic facilities and growing to about 79 international students. The school began Summer Camp in July 1996 and international expansion followed with Hong Kong (1993), Beijing and Indonesia (1997), and Nigeria (2002); it later established roots in Shanghai (2005) and served as the GTA AP Testing Centre (2005). Bronte earned IB Continuum status in 2015 and celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2016.

Community

The Campus Life program provides evening activities and weekend excursions, and Campus Life staff lead after-school clubs and organize trips to attractions such as the CN Tower, Niagara Falls, and Canada's Wonderland.
