Community Service In Action: Our boys have been busy volunteering off campus over the past couple of weeks! Click here to see how we have been giving back to the Montreal community.
Movember: Students in all schools will have age-appropriate programming for Movember focused on positive social interactions, mental health awareness, and self-advocacy. Specific details will be shared through each school in the coming weeks.
Our Annual Giving Campaign, Dream Big/Rêver en Grand, launched this week. Donations will support this year's priorities: programs, initiatives (like our new Pre-University/Grade 12), professional development, student bursaries, and student wellness. Annual gifts from our community provide an extra level of support to help defray costs that are not covered by tuition alone. We thank our entire community (parents, alumni, alumni parents, grandparents, staff, and friends) for your participation. Read more on how you can help make dreams come true at Selwyn House School and donate today!
