St. Basil-the-Great College is a Catholic secondary school with a proud tradition of academic excellence and faith-based education.

Founded by the Basilian Fathers in 1962 as a boys’ boarding school, we are now a co-educational school within the Toronto Catholic District School Board. We continue the Basilian tradition of excellence in Catholic education, guided by our motto, Excelsa Petite (“Strive for Excellence”).

We are committed to each student’s intellectual, physical, spiritual, and moral development in a Catholic Christian environment that promotes self-awareness, respect, responsibility, and personal growth. Students are encouraged to be active contributors to our school community, demonstrating effort, discipline, and respect for God, themselves, others, property, and authority while striving to reach their full potential.

We provide a Catholic Christian environment that supports students’ intellectual, physical, and spiritual growth. Through our Religion Department and Chaplaincy Team, students explore social justice, community needs, and their role in serving others through liturgies, retreats, and faith-based activities.

We are committed to a safe, welcoming, and respectful environment where dignity, responsibility, and positive behaviour are shared priorities. Our Code of Behaviour reflects Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) policies and reinforces the responsibility of all community members to contribute to a positive school climate.

We offer a diverse and challenging curriculum that responds to students’ needs and interests, including business, environmental studies, computer literacy, cooperative education, and specialized programming through Special Education. A wide range of co-curricular opportunities, including leadership, clubs, service initiatives, cultural groups, yearbook, and competitive sports such as basketball, volleyball, soccer, and baseball helps students develop teamwork, leadership, and a strong sense of community.

St. Basil-the-Great College School has a proud history rooted in the tradition of the Order of St. Basil-the-Great. Founded in 1962 as a private boys’ boarding school, the school partnered with the Metropolitan Separate School Board (now the TCDSB) in 1969. By 1970, it had become a co-educational day school, and in 1986, administration was fully transferred to the TCDSB.

As the school community grew, plans for a new facility were developed, with construction supported by provincial funding. The new school opened in 1999, providing modern learning spaces for approximately 1,000 students. Today, St. Basil-the-Great continues to honour its rich Basilian heritage while evolving to meet the needs of its students and community.
