Relocation Information
Bishop Allen Academy will relocate to the former Don Bosco Catholic Secondary School (2 St. Andrews Boulevard) during construction of its new building.
Pending final approvals, students will move to Don Bosco September 2026, coinciding with the start of the new school year. A final decision on timing will be made by Spring 2026, ensuring families have sufficient time to prepare and plan ahead.

Modern classrooms and labs for science, technology, arts, business, and special education
A central chapel for reflection and gatherings
A triple gym, fitness room, and theatre arts space with stage and cafetorium
Outdoor sports field, six-lane track, and seating with ravine views
Student gathering spaces, Learning Commons, and restored walking trails
