Branksome Hall is an independent girls' school for day and boarding students from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, that was founded in 1903. It is an International Baccalaureate World School and a university preparatory school. All three IB programs are offered: the Primary Years Program (PYP), Middle Years Program (MYP) and International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (DP). Branksome Hall is located on Elm Avenue, off Mount Pleasant Road, one block north of Bloor Street, in the Toronto neighbourhood of Rosedale. The 13-acre campus contains several heritage structures and some modern buildings.
The school has a sister campus in South Korea, Branksome Hall Asia.
Branksome Hall's 13-acre (53,000 m2) campus is in the Toronto neighbourhood of Rosedale. The campus contains a section of Carolinian forest with an outdoor classroom, four tennis courts, a large lower field used by teams and classes, two playgrounds, and a "quad" with an adaptive playground, where senior students often relax and eat lunch during the warmer months. There are about a dozen buildings on the Branksome Hall campus, including two that are home to the school's 70 boarding students (Sherborne House and Ainslie House). Tuition for the 2013-14 school year is 27,620 CAD for day girls (29,620 for IB1 and IB2) and over 51,000 CAD for boarders.
The most basic and formal uniform (also known as #1 Dress) consists of an off-white blouse, a blazer (green or, for Prefects, red), a tie, and a kilt.
There are five ties in Branksome. The most basic one is a tie featuring the same plaid (Hunting Stewart tartan) as the kilt. The second one is a navy blue tie with yellow stripes, for the Grade 10 clan chieftains and Grade 8 clan reps. The third one is a green tie with small crests, and is for Heads of Clubs and Societies. The fourth is a red plaid tie (Royal Stewart tartan) for girls in the Graduating Year. The fifth, for sports captains.
There are two kilts at Branksome Hall. Most of the students wear the Hunting Stewart Kilt, which is green. Prefects wear red kilts that are Royal Stewart.
There are long-sleeved and short-sleeved off-white blouses that students must wear with a tie for #1 Dress. Students may choose to wear long-sleeved or short-sleeved polo shirts on school days when #1 Dress is not necessary.
