St. Michael's College School is a private, all-boys Roman Catholic day school in
Toronto, Canada. The original campus was located on Bay street just north of Bloor in the Clover Hill Building which still stands today as St.
Basil's Church- constructed in 1852 (the year St. Michael's was founded). Due to the rapidly expanding student body the school was relocated to its current location, leaving the Bay and Bloor campus as a federated college in the University of
Toronto, known as the University of St. Michael's College. Today, the school's campus is at Bathurst Street and St. Clair Avenue at the
edge of
Toronto's Forest Hill neighbourhood. The school has a well known rivalry with Upper Canada College, another private all boys high school located in the same Forest Hill neighbourhood.
The school has a very rich
history of successful alumni including Jim Flaherty (finance minister of Canada), Robert Deluce (founder of Porter Airlines) and Sergio Marchionne (CEO of Fiat and Chrysler) to name just a few. The school is perhaps best known as a producer of hockey players and football players and over
180 St. Michael's alumni have played in the National Hockey League (Including Tim Horton!). More than anything, St. Michael's produces a sense of
pride among its students and alumni that no other private school can
even dream of achieving.
