Upper Canada College (UCC) was founded in 1829 and is one of Canada's oldest and most prestigious independent boys' schools. Located in the Forest Hill neighbourhood of Toronto, UCC enrols approximately 1,200 students from Junior Kindergarten through Grade 12. The school offers the IB Diploma Programme for Grades 11–12 alongside the Ontario Secondary School Diploma.
UCC offers IB Biology at both HL and SL. The school's science department is exceptionally well-resourced, with dedicated Biology labs and a strong tradition of university-bound science students. UCC Biology students benefit from proximity to the University of Toronto's Faculty of Medicine and the MaRS Discovery District for research exposure.
UCC graduates matriculate to Canadian medical schools (U of T, McMaster, Queen's, Western), US Ivy League, and UK Russell Group. The school's university counselling is among the strongest in Canada, with particular depth in pre-medical and life-science pathways.
Sourced from publicly available rankings, the school's own annual diploma results communications, and the IB Organization's programme authorisations.
UCC graduates approximately 60 IB Diploma candidates per year. Biology HL is popular among pre-medical students. The school reports consistently strong IB results.
UCC reports placements at U of T, McGill, Queen's, Western (Canadian medical pathway), US Ivy League (Harvard, Yale, Princeton), and UK universities (Imperial, UCL). The school has exceptional university counselling for both Canadian and international applications.
