My time at Rundle played a significant role in my career path. The teachers taught me that I was smart, capable and, definitely on many occasions, proved that they cared about their students.

YOU WILL UNDERSTAND HOW YOU LEARN AND WHAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU Success comes from knowing your challenges and your strengths

Not everyone learns the same way and that’s okay. Your teachers will know what works best for you and will teach the way you learn. Small class sizes provide the freedom to experiment with your learning style and to discover the tools you need to succeed.

As you take your educational journey, you’ll understand what sparks your learning and helps you to realize just how smart you really are!

YOU WILL EXPERIENCE A PREMIER ACADEMIC PROGRAM A Rundle education opens minds and doors

At Rundle, your educational experience will be a balanced approach between academic studies, character development, and co-curricular programs. We want you to be more than just a top score on your diploma exam. By the end of grade 12, we believe you’ll be confident in both your emotional and academic skills, and ready to pursue whatever further education you want.

For you, maybe that’s Queen’s, UCLA, BCIT or somewhere a little closer to home.

Rundle’s reputation is built on the success of our students’ achievements, both inside and outside of the classroom. A Rundle education, recognized as one of the best programs in the country, provides our alumni with numerous advantages.

YOU WILL BE OFFERED COUNTLESS LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES Under those burgundy blazers are superhero capes!

Leadership comes in all forms, actions, and people. It can be loud and energizing or quiet and thoughtful.

At Rundle, we integrate leadership opportunities into the curriculum giving our students opportunities to build confidence and to develop their own leadership style.

“

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader.

YOU CAN FOLLOW YOUR PATH AND PURSUE A POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION Everyone’s path is unique. Choose the right path for you.

As a university preparatory program, the experience at Rundle gives our students the best opportunities to further their education.

For many, a Rundle education affords them admission to some of the finest universities in Canada and abroad. For other Rundle graduates, success is found by taking a different path altogether.

We want our students to follow their curiosity and to find happiness while pursuing their path.

Greatness is found around every corner of life.

Where will you find yours?

It’s been 8 years since leaving the halls of the Academy, but I haven’t forgotten about Rundle.

I am an active and proud Rundle Alumni in the community and, as of late, have had the pleasure of serving on the Rundle Alumni Committee....

Rundle gave me the tools to create my own successes...and taught me the great importance of self advocacy. I encourage all of you to cherish your time at Rundle.
