MacLachlan College is a world-class private school offering the benefits of small class sizes, with highly dedicated and engaged teachers and an internationally recognized curriculum.
Our exceptional Lower School (Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 6) and Upper School (Grade 7 to 12) co-educational learning environments are centred on academic excellence and an ongoing commitment to the latest innovations in education.
Believing that active learning has a central role in inspiring and supporting a new generation of learners, our campuses are active and dynamic spaces that foster collaboration, creativity, engagement and flexibility.
Where Tradition and Vision Meet
Founded in 1978 in a historic mansion in Olde Oakville, MacLachlan College was created to challenge traditional education with a bold vision that fosters an entrepreneurial, success-driven, and future-oriented mindset.
Our Lower School Campus at 337 Trafalgar Road will serve Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 6 students, while our new Upper School Campus at 2794 South Sheridan Way welcomes Grades 7 to 12.
Academic Excellence
Always raising the bar on excellence, MacLachlan is an IB World School, offering the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) in the Lower School and expanding our IB continuum as an IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) Candidate School for Grades 7 and 8. In the Upper School, students benefit from Advanced Placement (AP), preparing them for success at leading universities in Canada and abroad.
The International Baccalaureate and Advanced Placement programs are among the most rigorous and highly regarded educational frameworks, fostering inquiry-based learning and internationally minded learners.
Dynamic and Inclusive Community
MacLachlan College is more than a school. It is a dynamic, small and inclusive community where students where teachers guide and facilitate learning by creating real world connections. Our graduates are well prepared for future success and attend top universities in Canada and abroad.
Welcome to MacLachlan College!
Your child will grow into a capable, confident, and compassionate future leader at MacLachlan College.
Our school is small by design, giving our teachers the opportunity to get to know every student and support and inspire them through their learning journey. Students will develop a deeper awareness of themselves and the world around them through their educational and extracurricular experiences.
The best way to experience our wonderful school and all of our programs is to see it firsthand. I invite you to visit our historic campus and learn more about the advantages and possibilities of a MacLachlan education.
We are ready to guide you through the inquiry and application process. We are extremely proud of our innovative learning environments and top-notch academic programs and are here to help!
To prepare future-ready individuals, we need to share and instill common values across our school community and embed these values in everything we do.
