Campus

Albert College lies on 25 acres in beautiful Belleville, Ontario, Canada. There are two main buildings located on campus, the Junior School and the Senior School. The Senior school house students from grade 7 to Post Graduate as well as the junior and senior boys’ residences, Baker House and Graham Hall. The Senior School is a historic gothic style building that was built in 1923. There are plenty of large trees and outdoor areas to relax, read, study or play games. For those who like to walk, jog, or bike, a large waterfront park and marina is located just minutes from the College on the beautiful Bay of Quinte.

Albert College continues to embrace technology in a very big way. We have two fully equipped computer labs, a Mac lab and a midi-music Mac lab.

Both of these technical resources allow for a collaborative environment where students are able to resolve many of the academic challenges they encounter. Smart classrooms are equipped with video projectors and other peripheral devices.

Memorial Chapel

Albert's Memorial Chapel is located at the centre of the school. Faculty, residential staff and students begin their day here with an assembly. On certain days, this 15-minute gathering will include announcements relating to school events and it also features prefect skits and thematic presentations.

Each Wednesday morning, there is a more formal Chapel Service of approximately 30 minutes when students are expected to wear their dress one uniform. More formal services are also conducted in November (Remembrance Day), at Christmas, Easter and at Convocation.

Although the heritage of our chapel worship is Christian in nature, great care is taken to honour all religious traditions. Guest speakers and faculty share knowledge of these traditions with the entire school community in the chapel setting. These Wednesday services also include presentations that raise awareness about important issues in the community and globally.
