We are excited to welcome our students back to Yale for the first day of school on Tuesday September 8th. The energy and excitement of a new school year are already building, and we can’t wait to see our hallways filled with our wonderful students.

Here's a throwback to the annual tradition at Yale Secondary School, where students celebrate Canada's birthday with students from its feeder schools before summer break.

For more than 20 years, Canada Day in May has brought school communities together through a carnival filled with student-run games, activities, and food stalls. Leadership students in Grades 9–12 take the lead in creating a fun and memorable experience for younger students while building connections across the Yale family of schools.
