Northmount School for Boys Foundation

What Northmount School for Boys Foundation does

Northmount School for Boys Foundation is a Canadian non-profit foundation established in 1998 by parents and supporters to advance the mission of Northmount School for Boys, Toronto's only independent Catholic boys elementary school (Junior Kindergarten through Grade 8). The Foundation holds the campus at 26 Mallard Road in North York, which the school fully acquired in July 2018, and channels philanthropic support into programming, bursaries, and capital projects.

The Foundation operates a single integrated educational offering structured around three academic divisions — Primary (JK-Grade 2), Junior (Grades 3-5), and Senior (Grades 6-8) — supplemented by specialized programs including the proprietary CASTLE enrichment and support program, athletics (12 competitive sports), arts (visual, music, drama), chaplaincy, technology education (iPads, coding, and Grade 9 reach-ahead online courses in Latin or Mandarin), outdoor education, and an after-school program. Instruction is delivered with an 8:1 student-teacher ratio and an average class size of 10.6.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition (CAD $23,700 for Kindergarten, $26,600 for Grades 1-8, and $40,000 for international students) supplemented by activity fees, new student fees ($6,000) and deposits ($6,000), and a layered fundraising apparatus comprising the Annual Fund, an annual gala (the 36th annual Starlight Soirée), and an active $8 million Building Fund Campaign financing a multi-phase campus expansion through 2026.
