Greenwood College School Information

In 2001, one of Greenwood’s founders, a successful wealth manager, lawyer and entrepreneur, realized that the people who made the greatest contributions to society were rarely those who had chosen a narrow, traditional path. Instead, they were those who paired an independent spirit with a deeper sense of character, and were as energized by challenge as they were by success. Our four founders shared this belief, and Greenwood is the result. Greenwood opened its doors in 2002 to 72 students in Grades 7 and 9, in a newly renovated building. Today, our school numbers 498 students and more than 90 teachers and staff, and our campus has grown into one of the most advanced facilities among Canadian independent schools. Since its founding, the school has garnered a reputation as a supportive co-ed community where students are engaged, open-minded and at-ease every day. Our teachers get to know students not only as learners, but as people, to ensure they get the support and challenge they need to stretch. The result? Our alumni go on to attend highly selective postsecondary programs across Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom - and when they arrive, many report that they are better prepared than their peers.
