Stanstead College

Founded in 1872, Stanstead College is an independent Canadian boarding and day school for boys and girls in Grades 7 through 12. Living and studying in the heart of an extensive 600-acre property surrounded by the beautiful hills of Quebec's Eastern Townships and Northern Vermont, students enjoy a strong sense of community as they develop into young men and women and prepare for university.

The school has a population of approximately 200 students and a highly involved faculty and staff. In addition to the Quebec Diploma at Secondary V (Grade 11), Stanstead College offers a Grade 12 option based on Advanced Placement and Ontario pre-university programs.

The success of Stanstead College over the past 138 years rests in its ability to both reinforce traditional values and embrace innovation in a constantly changing world.
