Branksome Hall

When I came here many years ago, I have to say I wasn’t as pleased with the school as I am today. The school over the last 10 years has really evolved and marked itself as a unique private school for girls. It’s differentiated itself by establishing the IB diploma, which is by far superior to the OSSD that you would get at other schools. I wish I had that opportunity and always was jealous at my UCC counterparts that they had it.
By nature of this diploma is forces the girls to become leaders in their own right. The discipline, application and thoughfulness required to complete the courses inherently help develop the mind to think a certain way, and require the girls to be motivated in a certain way.
And there’s something to be said about the type of people that the girls would befriend and their relationships in the future.
Thinking of sending your daughter here? I would. But then there’s the debate between public vs. private school and when is the right time.
