A Culture of Belonging

Small enough to know everyone. Big enough to find your place.

In a school of never more than 150 students, nobody blends into the background. Whether they grew up in Muskoka or arrived from overseas, students are known by name and accepted for who they are.

Get in touch

"We connected in a meaningful way with every staff member we met, and they shared their journeys and experiences openly with us. Our children aren't just clones following the checklist!"

What belonging looks like

Many backgrounds, one community. Day students from across Muskoka learn side by side with students from across Canada, and students from around the world. They share classrooms and traditions, and many of their closest friendships start on a team or in a club.

Safe to be yourself. There’s no single way to be an RLC student. Teachers take the time to understand who each student is and who they want to become, and students are encouraged to speak up, knowing their classmates and teachers support them.

Student voice matters. Students help shape school culture and look out for one another, often long before they hold any title.

"Here, we're going out and building bush shelters, we're playing in the snow, we're going canoeing. Stuff that I would only see on TV. But now I'm doing it."
