The Bishop Strachan School (BSS) ('Strachan' pronounced /ˈstrɔːn/) is a Canadian day and boarding school for girls. The School has approximately 900 students including 80 boarding students ranging from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12 (approximately ages 4–17). The School is named after John Strachan, the first Anglican bishop of Toronto, and was founded by John Langtry in 1867. The founders' intention was to educate girls to be leaders.〔http://www.bss.on.ca/story〕 The campus is situated within the Forest Hill neighborhood of Toronto. The main building was designed by Henry Sproatt. The boarding program starts in Grade 7, and boarders come from many parts of Canada and the world. The Senior School offers a wide range of courses in both traditional subjects as well as courses such as Film and Design Technology. It offers Advanced Placement courses in some subjects. ==Student life== When students enter BSS they are placed in a house with 8 to 10 other students from their grade. There are 12 different houses in the school: Acres, Dupont, Grier, Griffith, Lamont, Langtry, Macnaughton, Marling, Nation, Pyper, Rosseter, and Walsh. The school has approximately 80 boarders from Grades 7 to 12 from over 21 countries. Each boarder is a member of a boarding House (St. Hilda's or St. Monica's), as well as a day house. The boarding program includes regular evening study (including tutorial support). There are 16 prefects elected by the school and the grade 11 class to serve in their graduating year, with positions such as Head Girl, Head Boarder, Head Ambassador and Grad Prefect and 12 other non-portfolio positions who work with various aspects of school life. The school offers programs in the arts and a variety of musical ensembles. It stages a classical production and a musical annually with Upper Canada College. BSS also offers a co-educational summer academy during July. 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「Bishop Strachan School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
