BALMORAL HALL SCHOOL
WHERE BOLD BELONGS
A commitment to continuous innovation in education Balmoral Hall recognized for its efforts to inspire and impact teaching and learning
N early 125 years after its establishment as an independent girls’ school in 1901, Balmoral Hall School has been recognized for innovation, leadership, and educational excellence using technology. Designated an Apple Distinguished School for the 2025–2028 program term, Balmoral Hall School was selected for this distinction based on its commitment to continuous inno- vation in education and using Apple products to inspire, imagine, and impact teaching and learning. Apple Distinguished Schools are centres of leadership and educational excellence, with a clear vision for how technology-rich environ- ments support learning goals. In Apple Distinguished Schools, forward- thinking leaders and their communities work to inspire, imagine, and impact teaching and learning, and they have documented results of academic accomplishments. Schools all over the world are using iPad and Mac to transform learning. As teachers incorporate technology into their lessons, they empower students to lead, learn, and thrive, to discover new opportunities, and to make their world a better place. “Our long-standing relationship with Apple, which began in the 1980s, has shaped gener- ations of student learning and continues to reflect our deep commitment to accessibility, diversity, and inclusion,” reflects Lois McGill, Director of Technology, Innovation & Entre- preneurship at Balmoral Hall School.
“Through global partnerships, including AI camps taught by instructors from Stanford and MIT, and experiential learning at North Forge, Smartpark Innovation Hub, and St-Boniface Hospital Research Centre’s Institute of Cardio- vascular Sciences, we are proud to open more pathways for girls to confidently step into the world of technology.” Balmoral Hall School is committed to pre- paring girls and young women to be lifelong learners in an ever-changing world. Its edu- cators value innovation and focus on inqui- ry-driven, student-centred teaching meth- ods from preschool through post-secondary enrolment. Students’ educational experiences nurture their independence, confidence, and resilience. They will create paths that take them into uncharted territories. They have immense potential in their pursuit of excellence for themselves, for their communities, and for a bright future. “I learned to code at 10 years old,” recalls Elizabeth Anderson, now a Grade 12 student and student council representative for arts and technology. “My introduction to advanced technology from a very young age at Balmoral Hall has prepared me for our post-pandemic world to be as immersed in technology as it is today. As I continue to explore my interests in a safe environment with my friends, I am more and more certain of what I want to pursue in my post-secondary education!” n
