''This article is about the school in Canada. See also Diocesan College (Bishops) in Cape Town, South Africa.'' Bishop's College School is a private school in Lennoxville, Quebec, Canada. The school was established in 1836 as the ''Lennoxville Classical School'' by the Rev. Lucius Doolittle (1800-1862). Traditionally, the school had catered to the sons of the residents of the Golden Square Mile and as a feeder to Bishop's University. BCS became co-educational in 1973 after merging with King’s Hall Compton, a nearby girls' school. Bishop's is a culturally diverse, bilingual, co-educational, independent boarding and day school for Grades 7 to 12 (Forms II to VII). It is located on a campus in Lennoxville, a borough of Sherbrooke, in the heart of Québec’s historic Eastern Townships. The school has been member of the Round Square since 1986 and the BCS Cadet Corps #2 - the oldest continuous service corps in Canada - has been affiliated with the Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada since 1936. ==History== Bishop’s College School was founded in 1836 as the Lennoxville Classical School by the Reverend Lucius Doolittle, who also served as the first Headmaster. Back then, the School was housed in the St. James’ Parsonage and within four years twenty-three boys were enrolled. Tuition fees were set at 15 shillings per quarter in the Junior Forms and 25 shillings for the Upper Forms; board was £25 per annum (about $130 per year). Alfred Arthur Cox (architect) designed several buildings on campus including: Dining Halls (1899), Kitchen (1899), addition to the Library (1899), new lecture rooms (1899).〔http://www.dictionaryofarchitectsincanada.org/architects/view/1626 Alfred Arthur Cox (architect)〕 Hundreds of former students volunteered and fought for Canada during the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War. Each year the names of those who fell (65 boys and three masters in the First World War, 62 boys in the Second World War and one master in the Korean War) are remembered during the School’s Remembrance Day Service. A stained glass window and War memorial plaques were erected as lists of honours for the Old boys.〔http://www.cmp-cpm.forces.gc.ca/dhh-dhp/nic-inm/sm-rm/mdsr-rdr-eng.asp?PID=7728 War Memorials〕 Girls became an integral part of school life in the 1972-73 school year when BCS and the nearby King’s Hall Compton amalgamated. In 1995, Nancy Layton was appointed as Head of School, becoming the first female Head of a coeducational boarding school in Canada. Today, BCS serves approximately 220 students with a faculty of over 40 educators. The campus is composed of 26 buildings set on , including playing fields and woodlands.
