  • Why it matters

    While some researchers have looked to uncover the "ideal" school size, these studies often generalize student preferences and behaviours. Your real goal is to find what best suits your child’s needs. Smaller schools can offer a school-wide sense of connection, while larger schools often provide broader programming and opportunities. Also, note that per-grade enrollment often tells a more meaningful story than total enrollment alone (read topic guide).


Gender

Both girls and boys attend.

  • Why it matters

    A school’s gender composition influences its social, academic, and extracurricular experiences. Coed schools often encourage collaboration across genders, while single-gender schools (all-boys or all-girls) may focus on specialized learning approaches (read topic guide).


International Students

10% of students come from outside Canada.

Three words about MacLachlan College are inclusive, driven, and supportive. It felt like a family.
MacLachlan taught me discipline. That discipline really helped me in my first year because when other students were scrambling to find their footing, I already had my grounding solid from MacLachlan. It really helped me be sustainable with my routine and support myself through everything.
The student body is small and this allows for greater connection and familiarity among all the students. This greater connection also decreases opportunities for troublesome conflict and brings the students closer together. When conflict does arise, the teachers and administration are immediate in their involvement. Despite the fact that students come from diverse locations, the online connectivity they enjoy allows them to maintain close relationships when not on the premises. The prefects provide great leadership to the rest of the student body and are aspirational examples for all students. From a broader perspective, the ethnically diverse school body provides opportunity for a greater understanding of the community in general and empathy for people of all backgrounds, preparing the students to become global citizens respecting, understanding and appreciating universal human values, cultural differences and world issues.
