MacLachlan College – Preparing students for a changing world
Choosing the right school is about more than academic results. It is about finding a community where children are known, challenged and inspired to become the very best version of themselves. For nearly 50 years, MacLachlan College has provided exactly that, combining academic excellence with meaningful relationships and a personalized approach to learning.
Located in Oakville, Ontario, Canada, MacLachlan College is a co-educational independent school serving students from Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 12 across two dedicated campuses. Each campus is thoughtfully designed to support students at every stage of their educational journey, creating age-appropriate learning environments where curiosity, confidence and character flourish.
Learning at MacLachlan is intentional. The Lower School follows the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP), encouraging inquiry, creativity and a life-long love of learning. Students continue their journey through the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP) before pursuing an Advanced Placement (AP) pathway in the senior years, preparing them for success at leading universities in Canada and around the world.
Small class sizes and exceptional teachers ensure every student is known as an individual. Faculty build meaningful relationships that foster confidence, encourage curiosity and provide the support students need to take on new challenges. The result is an environment where students feel empowered to ask questions, think critically and grow academically and personally.
Education extends well beyond the classroom. As a proud Round Square school, MacLachlan develops globally minded learners through leadership, service, adventure and international collaboration. Students also explore their interests through athletics, the arts, innovation, technology and a wide range of co-curricular opportunities. From the Maker Space and science laboratories to High-Performance Athletics programs in hockey and competitive climbing, students are encouraged to pursue excellence, while discovering new passions.
In 2026, MacLachlan College became the first Canadian school to join Dukes Education, strengthening its commitment to educational excellence, while creating new opportunities for students and staff through an international network of outstanding schools. The partnership expands global learning opportunities, while preserving the close-knit community that has defined MacLachlan since its founding.
At MacLachlan College, intentional education is more than a philosophy. It is reflected in every classroom, every relationship and every opportunity. The result is confident graduates who are prepared not only for university, but for lives of purpose, leadership and meaningful contribution.
