Dear UCC Families,
As we settle into the winter term, we’re already looking ahead to our next academic year and sharing re-registration details below. The College’s Board of Governors, in support of delivering transformational learning experiences and best-in-class programming and facilities, has approved the operating budget for 2026–27, including tuition fees which may be found here for day students and here for boarding students.Â
Re-registration will open to families at 12 p.m. on Monday, January 19, 2026. Contract(s) and form(s) will be available on Bluenet at this time.
To register your student(s) for the 2026–27 school year at Upper Canada College, the following must be completed and submitted by no later than Friday, Feb. 6, 2026:Â
Re-registration Contract(s) for your student(s)
2026–27 Athletic Consent and Media Waiver for your student(s)
Please note the following:
Only one parent or guardian is required to complete these forms. The parent or guardian who completes and submits the re-registration contract(s) accepts full financial responsibility for all fees associated with the contract(s).Â
If shared financial responsibility has already been established with the College, then both parents or guardians are required to sign and complete the re-registration contract(s). Parents and guardians with shared financial responsibility will receive a contract that requires two signatures.
If there is an outstanding balance owing to the College, you will not have access to your re-registration contract(s). Please contact Colleen Papulkas to complete payment and access your contract(s) for the 2026–27 school year.
Financial assistance information has been shared with individual families who made a complete application to Apple Financial.
To sign your contract(s) and submit the form(s) please log in to Bluenet. Instructions for accessing the contract(s) in Bluenet are available here.Â
Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to Upper Canada College.
Sincerely,
Felix Moses
Vice Principal, Finance
Dear UCC Community,
The weather forecast for this weekend predicts extreme cold temperatures, heavy snow and reduced visibility. As a result, to ensure everyone's safety, the Norval Winter Open House scheduled for January 25 has been cancelled.
Registration is now open for the Norval Maple Madness Open House on March 22. We look forward to seeing you then!
UCC, the PO and PPO are delighted to welcome Jake Ernst (MSW, RSW) back to UCC on Tuesday, Feb. 3, for an evening information session on parenting in the age of AI.Â
Jake is a registered social worker, psychotherapist and the Clinical Director of Straight Up Health, a family mental health clinic in Toronto. Jake’s parent presentation, Raising Capable Kids in the Age of AI, explores how rapid advances in AI and technology are quietly reshaping childhood, not just how kids learn, but how they develop emotionally, socially and relationally. Jake’s presentation will look at the everyday experiences kids are losing when technology does the heavy lifting, including play, risk-taking, problem-solving, group belonging and sitting with uncertainty. He will connect these losses to the social and emotional muscles children need for real life, like frustration tolerance, empathy, adaptability, and emotional regulation. Parents will leave with a clear framework for what kids still need to experience offline, practical ways to reintroduce those experiences at home and at school, and reassurance that raising capable kids in an AI-driven world is less about banning technology and more about intentionally protecting their natural growth.Â
Date: Tuesday, Feb. 3
Time: 7 to 8 p.m. (doors will open at 6:30 p.m.)
Location: Weston Hall at the Prep School
This presentation is relevant to all parents with kids from SK to Year 12. All UCC parents and caregivers are invited to attend.
New items are now available at the Blues Shop, including spirit wear and memoribilia items.
Check out the catalogue online, or shop in person Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (closed 12:30-1:30).Â
The Blues Shop is located outside the Lower Dining Hall in the Upper School.Â
