5. Columbia International College
Like the below, Bronte College, this school is also located in Ontario, Canada. Yet, the two Canadian Boarding Schools have many differences. While Bronte is a relatively big boarding school, Columbia International College is the largest in the nation, with over 1,800 students from over 70 different countries in classes. Thus, it boasts the largest number of staff and makes specific guarantees about its academic success. It claims that 100% of its graduates are accepted into top universities and that it has over 400 people admitted to one of Canada’s flagship colleges, the University of Toronto, on an annual basis.
Moreover, unlike Bronte, Columbia International College has a strict dress code and seems to place more of an emphasis on discipline than on extra-curricular activities and sports. It’s annual tuition is $20,000, and while that may seem high, it is still one of the most affordable boarding schools given the conditions under which this list is based. There really just aren’t that many non-religious, co-ed boarding schools that provide courses for 9th through 12th graders to the same degree of quality that Columbia does.
