Domestic Boarding Students

A home base in Muskoka

RLC is a small independent boarding school on Lake Rosseau in Muskoka, Ontario. We offer Canadian families small classes, strong academics, and a close community where students grow in confidence and independence. Boarding life teaches them to manage their time and their life away from home, so they start university or college already prepared.

Why families choose boarding at RLC

A home away from home. Houseparents live in each boarding house, with staff support every evening and weekend, so students grow more independent with caring adults always close by.

Learning beyond the bell. Evenings and weekends bring study time, outdoor adventure, leadership, and service.

Friends from everywhere. Classmates from 15 to 20 countries. In a screen-conscious environment, students communicate face to face and build real friendships.

“I so deeply enjoyed leaving the world and going out on the lake for classes, and that is something that will never leave me.”

Weekends at RLC

Weekends at RLC are full. Boarders head out to Muskoka favourites like the Bala Cranberry Festival and the Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary, go rock climbing and camping, and take shopping trips to nearby towns. Chaperoned trips go further, to Toronto and Ottawa, and some of Canada’s top universities are only a few hours away.

On long weekends, boarders explore more of Canada, from Toronto and Niagara Falls to Québec City’s Winter Carnival and the West Coast, at an additional cost. Day students are welcome to sign up for trips too.

RLC’s amazing location on Lake Rosseau offers so many opportunities for outdoor adventure and exploration, which have always been a big part of my life. I often feel like the outdoors is my natural habitat!
