Ridley College — St. Catharines, Canada
School type: IB Continuum School · IB Programmes: PYP, MYP, DP · Live coaching in ET (Canada East)
Ridley College was founded in 1889 in St. Catharines, Ontario, on a 107-acre lakeside campus overlooking Lake Ontario. Ridley is a co-educational boarding and day school enrolling approximately 750 students from 60+ countries. The school is authorized for the full IB Continuum (PYP, MYP, DP) — one of only a handful of Canadian schools with all three programmes.
Ridley offers IB Biology at both HL and SL. The school's boarding environment creates a structured study culture that benefits IB students. Ridley's science labs were refurbished in 2019, and the school's proximity to the Niagara region provides ecology fieldwork opportunities for Biology IAs.
Ridley graduates matriculate to Canadian, US, UK, and international universities. The school has strong placements at Queen's, Western, McGill, U of T, and US liberal arts colleges. Boarding families from Asia and the Middle East often target North American medical pathways.
Sourced from publicly available rankings, the school's own annual diploma results communications, and the IB Organization's programme authorisations.
Ridley graduates approximately 80 IB Diploma candidates annually. Biology HL benefits from the boarding structure (consistent evening study time) and Niagara ecology access.
Ridley reports placements at Queen's, Western, McGill, U of T, US universities (including Ivy League), and UK institutions. Boarding families often target dual Canadian/US applications.
Our tutoring aligns with Ridley's DP calendar. Boarding students have structured evening study time (7–9 PM ET) that accommodates online tutoring sessions seamlessly.
