Victoria Manor

Victoria Manor is only a four-minute walk from the main campus, on Highland Avenue, while Graham Hall and Baker House are located on the main campus. The Victoria Manor residents enjoy their own fitness centre and yoga room, as well as a full-service kitchen where they often cook authentic dishes or bake cookies with friends. Victoria Manor has a number of common spaces; a TV/recreation room, dining and study room and a living room, as well as lots of outdoor green space.
Study hall is two hours (from 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.) every week night except Fridays. Students are supervised by a boarding staff member who helps each student with their homework. The boarders often help one another with their homework as well. Following study hall, students often enjoy various activities and relaxing with their fellow boarders.
Our students learn to embrace and respect the culture and the diversity of their peers. In addition to the 5 'A’s of Albert College (Academics, Arts, Athletics, Adventure and Active Citizenship), our experienced boarding staff assist our students to become leaders of their generations. Although our boarding students come to Albert College from all over the world, living and learning together creates a special bond that lasts a lifetime.
