Ashbury College is an independent private school which offers a joint Ontario High School Diploma and Ashbury College Diploma, as well as the International Baccalaureate Diploma and International Baccalaureate Bilingual Diploma. Originally a single-gender boys school, Ashbury began accepting girls in 1982. Currently, the male/female student proportion of the Senior School is 55%/45%, but is becoming increasingly equal.

In 1900, Ashbury College moved to Argyle Avenue near the present Museum of Nature. In 1905, Ashbury College had twenty borders, fifty day boys, led by the headmaster and a staff of five graduates. There was a preparatory department for little boys. The students were prepared for the Royal Military College of Canada and Universities. Eleven boys had entered the Royal Military College of Canada between 1900-1905. 〔(Dau Society Blue Book 1905 )〕 In 1910, the school - called Ashbury College after Woollcombe's English home - moved to its current location on 12 acres (4.9-hectare) in the village of Rockcliffe Park. Arthur Le B. Weeks (architect) designed the Ashbury College (1909) on Mariposa Avenue.〔 http://www.dictionaryofarchitectsincanada.org/architects/view/1274 Arthur Le B. Weeks (architect)〕 With the support of Ottawa benefactors, a new building was constructed for the 115 students, 48 of whom were boarders. Ashbury was originally an all-boys institution but began admitting women for grades 9-12 in 1982 and then admitted girls for the first time into fourth grade (the youngest grade offered) in 2010. The institution is divided between the Senior School and the Junior School, who have separate faculties and students, but share resources such as the cafeteria (MacLaren Hall), gymnasiums, art departments, music facilities, theatre, and the chapel. Ashbury College's innovative and modern adaptations include Canada’s first teaching green roof, and a LEED Gold-certified boys’ residence. Ashbury College was included amongst other architecturally interesting and historically significant buildings in Doors Open Ottawa, held June 2 and 3, 2012.〔http://ottawa.ca/doorsopen Doors Open Ottawa〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ashbury College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
