Read below to explore the qualities and experiences that define a Rundle College student:

Academically Focused & Personally Driven

At Rundle College, our rigorous academic program, balanced with various experiences in the arts, languages, technology, and physical education, encourages the intellectual, social, and personal growth of our students. Framed by a liberal arts focus and design-thinking approach, we accommodate diverse learning needs and deliver a program that encourages curiosity and empowers students to become critical thinkers and innovative problem solvers.

Grounded in Character & Connected to Community

While academic achievement is a key focus at Rundle, it represents just one part of our commitment to developing well-rounded students. Character development and citizenship are woven throughout our curriculum, ensuring that students grow not only intellectually but personally. Through community service initiatives, volunteer experiences, character-focused classroom discussions, and a wide range of leadership opportunities, our students learn the values and skills that prepare them to make a positive impact beyond the classroom.

Pursuing Interests and Passions Through Extracurriculars

The ways and methods people gain knowledge, not only in their formative school years but also throughout their lifetimes, are changing rapidly. We believe in expanding and increasing every student’s opportunity for self-discovery and exploration. Students must feel empowered to take the lead from the beginning; early in their school lives, they are encouraged to seek out answers and learn the core skills necessary to become life-long learners. Rundle encourages students to take their learning to new levels and in new directions by offering co-curricular activities for all grades that extend beyond the conventional curriculum and beyond the regular school year.

A Rundle Student from K-Forever

From Kindergarten to Grade 12, Rundle College provides a seamless learning experience that allows students to grow and thrive within our community. After graduation, they join our vibrant alumni network, where Rundle continues to nurture strong, lasting connections. Through our Rundle Alumni Reconnect events, held locally, nationally​, and internationally, to The Traverse program, our post-secondary assistance program offered to all graduates, joining Rundle means you are not only joining a school that supports achieving educational success, but a lifelong community of support.
