 The UCC Archives is a fascinating repository of photographs, documents and artifacts. The Archives promotes and preserves UCC’s heritage, thus serving as its “institutional memory.”
The Archives seeks and acquires records and artifacts of permanent value to UCC and its affiliates.
We welcome inquiries from the UCC community and the public. However, access to some records is restricted and may require permission from the archivist or principal
The College’s archival records date back to the mid-19th century. These records trace the history of UCC. Additionally, they offer a wealth of information about the history of Upper Canada, the Province of Ontario and the City of Toronto. UCC graduates, faculty and the College itself have played an active role in Canadian politics, education, the arts and sports.
Archival collections include the following: Campus life :
If we told you we recently celebrated our 178th anniversary, you might just form an impression of a particular type of boys’ school. You’d be right to suppose that we’re indeed proud of our heritage, our traditions and the range of distinguished alumni who’ve passed through our halls.
But you might be surprised to see just how modern and innovative a boy-focused learning environment can be. At UCC, there’s a palpable spirit of warmth, good humour and support which flows through our entire learning environment.
UCC occupies almost 17 hectares (40 acres) in the heart of Toronto. There are two schools: the Preparatory School and the Upper School.
The Prep educates about 400 boys from Senior Kindergarten to Remove (Grade 7). At the Upper School, about 700 students study to complete the International Baccalaureate, a rigorous diploma originally developed as a universal educational standard for geographically mobile students.
Our challenging academic program is balanced by opportunities for continuous growth outside the classroom — in our outstanding facilities. Recent additions include new modern theatres, large gyms and a fully equipped athletic centre, as well as spacious art and music studios. Several computer labs and two large libraries — the Wilder Library at the Prep and the Macintosh Library at the Upper School — are both brimming with resources, boosting learning for boys of all ages.
Within our spirited learning environment, core values such as respect and compassion are consistently stressed in age-appropriate ways. Our supportive faculty strive to foster a spirit of lively curiosity and a sense of belonging within every boy.
Textual Records
These are documents produced by the UCC Board of Governors, the principal, the head of the Preparatory School and College associations. The collection also has student records and publications; College Times is the oldest, continuously running student publication in Canada, dating back to 1871.
Graphic Collection
This collection has more than 20,000 photographs, slides, negatives, films and tapes depicting students, faculty, UCC buildings, theatre productions, sports and UCC's Norval Outdoor School.
Artifact Collection
These include medals, trophies, sweaters, caps, ties, pennants, sports equipment and Battalion uniforms.
The University of Toronto Archives hold much of UCC’s archival record prior to 1900.
UCC is a place where a boy’s future is set in motion. The College is one of the oldest and best-known boys’ schools in Canada. First and foremost, UCC is a vibrant and engaging learning community — a place where motivated students are encouraged to define and develop their unique talents.
UCC offers the opportunities and facilities of a big school with the personal attention and concern of a small school. It’s a school that demands commitment and asks a great deal of each and every student.
Addmission process:
Thank you for your interest in Upper Canada College. Our admission process is designed with two goals in mind. It allows you to determine whether UCC is a good fit for your son. It also enables us to gauge the appropriateness of the school for each candidate.
We seek students of good character, demonstrated academic ability and achievement - boys who will take advantage of opportunities and contribute a wide range of talents, backgrounds and interests.
There is no formula for gaining admission to UCC. Academic readiness and accomplishment are very important. But the admission team also considers criteria such as community involvement, citizenship and motivation.
We make decisions based on what we know at the time of application, and we always put each boy's best interest first. In the end, we look beyond the surface.
For the 2008–09 school year, the admission points for day students are Senior Kindergarten, Grade 3, Grade 5 and Grade 7, with limited entry for day students at the Upper School (Year 1–IB1). Boarding opportunities begin at Year 2 (age 14) at the Upper School.
