Albert College has been called home by many generations of students, both boarding and day. The students and staff at Albert will soon become your extended family. Albert College offers residency to both male and female students from grades seven to post graduate. A "home away from home" to students from across the world, Albert College provides its students with the unique opportunity to learn and understand about other cultures.

Male boarding students call Graham Hall home, while Victoria Manor is home to all boarding female students. The junior and senior girls are divided into two different wings. All residences have common rooms with TV/DVD equipment, gaming equipment, lounge furniture, laundry facilities and areas for making light snacks. All rooms are wired for computer access to the Internet and our local network.

The residential lifestyle offers many opportunities for boarding students to become leaders among their peers. The flat senior program is specifically designed to develop leadership skills in young students. Flat seniors assist residential staff in numerous activities, from social events to study hall sign-ins. Day and residential prefects, members of a team of graduate students elected by the school, also provide leadership and support to the student body.
 
The residential teams are also available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week to provide support, friendship, and guidance. At Albert College, students will learn about other cultures and make lifelong friends while also learning a great deal about themselves as individuals. We treat our community of boarders as an extended family that studies, learns, works, plays and grows together.We look forward to welcoming you to our home!

Five-Day Boarding Program

The five-day boarding program provides the best of both worlds - weekends with the family - weekdays to concentrate on school and spend extra time with their teachers and peers. Structured independence in a safe, nurturing environment is what make Albert’s five-day boarding programme unique. Students who have had the opportunity to live away from home for the first time during high school often have a smoother transition to post-secondary studies. Boarding in a familiar, nurturing environment provides students the opportunity to safely explore their independence.

Living at Albert College allows students to develop their independence and self-confidence. Alyssa LeBlanc '09 was a five-day boarding student at Albert College, returning home to Kingston on weekends. After only one year at Albert College, Alyssa graduated an Ontario Scholar, was class valedictorian and the recipient of many awards including the Governor-General’s Academic Medal. “I am not the same person that I was before Albert College. I have worked hard and achieved more than I ever thought was possible. Albert is more than a school, it’s a home and a second family,” says Alyssa. Like those in the over 150 years before her, Alyssa will leave Albert College with the skills required for success at university.
