With the closing of Canadian School Book Exchange (CSBE) and a thorough review of alternative options, we are pleased to announce our new course materials supplier is the University of Toronto Bookstore.
The UCC specific section of the website will be available on Thursday, August 1 and a link to the site and all pertinent information will be provided closer to the date. Textbooks can be purchased online to be shipped to your address, or shop in-person at the bookstore’s downtown location (214 College Street). You can also request to have your order delivered to other U of T campuses for pick-up. To check hours and addresses, please click here. Boarding families will receive a special delivery code if they would prefer their books are sent directly to the school. Your books will be delivered to UCC and held for you to pick up for the first week of school.
True to the spirit of the MYP and DP, text selection is based on the success of previous units, current issues, student interest and cultural awareness. This reflection and research takes place at the close of each academic cycle. The August 1 date provides our faculty with the necessary time for this selection process and University of Toronto Bookstore to source the materials.
In the meantime, please direct any questions to one of the following:
Prep School — Patti Cawker, Blues Shop manager
Upper School —Leigh Berndsen, registrar

We need your support to make this year’s Staff Appreciation Lunch a success!
A time-honoured tradition at UCC, the Staff Appreciation Lunch is our school community’s way of thanking all the different staff who help make our students’ experience at the College so remarkable. This includes teachers, administration, arena staff, housekeeping, food services and support staff. Approximately 350 staff will attend the lunch on May 29 in the Foster Hewitt Foundation Lounge.
The Staff Appreciation Lunch is fully funded by parent donations, so please contribute to this wonderful event for all of our UCC staff by donating here.
Thank you so much for your support!
