HEADMASTER'S MESSAGE

Back to Giving

Dear Selwyn House School Community,

At Selwyn House School, we are proud to be a leader in boys’ education, preparing boys not just for the challenges of today, but for the opportunities of tomorrow. Through a rich blend of academic, athletic, and cultural experiences, we shape young minds to be open, resilient, and ready to embrace the world with confidence. Our commitment to building character in every boy ensures that they not only succeed in school, they become lifelong role models in their communities.

However, tuition alone does not cover the full cost of our programs, bursaries, or the unique opportunities we offer. Rising costs, from transportation to program expansion, can make even simple activities, like a field trip, suddenly out of reach. Financial barriers can limit access to qualifying families.

This is why I invite you to join us for this year’s Annual Giving Campaign. Your generosity will directly support the experiences that help our boys thrive and grow, helping equip boys for life. Every gift provides essential resources that allow us to continue offering the programs that make Selwyn House exceptional. Contributions will also support our commitment to ensuring that financial barriers do not limit access to the Selwyn House experience, for any boy who belongs here.

Your donation to SHS Priorities will support vital areas, including:

Financial aid benefiting 21% of our high school students, ensuring diversity and inclusivity
Year Two of our successful Grade 12/Pre-University program, expanding pathways for academic success
The extension of our Outdoor Education Program to include students from Kindergarten to Grade 12
Farm field trips for Grades 5–8, immersing boys in hands-on learning experiences
The launch of a Robotics Program to inspire future innovators
L'enrichissement de nos programmes de français
Wellness initiatives, fostering mental and emotional health
Broadening creative expression in Middle School (hip hop and more)
The Gryphon Fund for Athletics, supporting all of our teams, including the new CSSHL hockey development program
Enhanced post-secondary Academic Advising, beginning in Grade 9, guiding our students’ future paths
Ongoing professional development for our dedicated staff, ensuring they have the tools to inspire every boy

Selwyn House is growing, both in numbers and in the strength of our programs. We are filled with talented, passionate students who are shaping the future of our school and our world. Your contribution —no matter the size— helps to provide these boys with the tools they need to discover their passions and unlock their full potential.

Thank you for believing in our school's mission and for supporting our boys on their journey. Together, we are building something extraordinary.

With gratitude,
