About Us

Located in the heart of Toronto, our school brings the outdoors in and makes the city the classroom.

Our Namesake

Our school is named after Bishop Alexander Macdonell, the first Roman Catholic Bishop of Kingston, Upper Canada. Now, a National Historic Person of Canada, he served in the Glengarry Fencibles as a military chaplain in Great Britain during the Napoleonic War and in Canada during the War of 1812.
