Why Royal Crown School?
Few schools in Toronto offer both a residence and start dates at several points in the year. The school is one of those that international students consider when they want to stay on one campus from middle school through to graduation.
- An early start: Families who want to introduce their child to the Canadian system from grade 7 or 8 look at this school.
- The security of a residence: For parents seeking supervised accommodation in Toronto, the residence program is the deciding factor.
- Sports and academics: Students who want to continue basketball, hockey or golf alongside their high school studies show interest.
Reasons: the features that set Royal Crown School apart
According to the information the school itself publishes, the main factors in an international student's decision are:
- OSSD program: Graduates receive the Ontario Secondary School Diploma, a high school credential recognized by Canadian and international universities.
- AP courses: Academically strong students can add university-level courses to strengthen their applications.
- Four intakes: The school runs a quadmester system and admits students in August, October, January and March, so families can choose a start date that fits their visa timeline.
- ESL and placement testing: International students submit an IELTS or TOEFL result or take the school's own placement test, so they start at the right level.
- Residence program: It is open to both local and international students, so housing and school life fall under one institution.
- Campus and surroundings: The facility of roughly 10,000 square metres sits beside Brimley Woods Park, giving students a green setting in a large city.
- Sports programs: Separate basketball, hockey and golf programs let athletes train alongside their academic schedule.
Cost analysis: what one school year costs
A doris.school guide lists 2026-27 tuition at CAD 25,800 and residence at CAD 24,500 per year; the school does not publish its fees.
| Item | CAD | When |
|---|---|---|
| Tuition (per doris.school) | 25,800 | listed with the annual fees |
| Residence (per doris.school) | 24,500 | listed with the annual fees |
| Headline annual tuition | 25,800 | 2026-27 |
The headline fee works out to about CAD 2,580 per school month over a 10-month year, before accommodation. Flights, pocket money, the study permit fee and biometrics are not included.
Based on a third-party guide (doris.school); the page does not state a combined total or inclusions; confirm with the school.
Fees were compiled in October 2026 and change every school year; confirm the amount with the school before applying.
How this fee compares
At CAD 25,800, this fee is CAD 1,420 above the median of CAD 24,380 among 16 private schools, tuition only.
Outcome: what it means for the student and family
This structure has concrete benefits, especially for families considering sending a child at a young age and as a boarder.
- A continuous path: Students can progress from grade 7 to grade 12 without changing schools, so they avoid readjusting each year.
- Flexible planning: The four start periods give families more time for applications and visas, and a delay can be moved to the next intake.
- University preparation: OSSD and AP courses together form a strong base for applications to Canadian and overseas universities.
- A single point of contact: Education and accommodation are handled by the same institution, so parents deal with one school administration.
Who it suits and what to consider
- Suitability: Students who want to board in Toronto, improve their English within the school and start mid-year.
- Fees: Fee figures could not be confirmed on the school's own website. A third-party guide (doris.school) lists about CAD 25,800 per year for tuition and CAD 24,500 for residence with meals, without a consistent academic year. Current fees must be confirmed with the school before applying, and the budget should be planned accordingly.
- Location and process: The campus is in Scarborough, not downtown. Preparation for a Study Permit application should start months before the term begins, and IRCC makes the final decision.
High school study is exempt from the Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL), which simplifies the application file. Students under 17 who arrive without their parents must have a custodian appointed in Canada. To determine which intake and grade suit your child, you can book a free preliminary assessment meeting with the consultants of Canadian Edu Centre.
