Setting
Branksome Hall's 13-acre (53,000 m2) campus is in the Toronto neighbourhood of Rosedale. The campus contains a section of Carolinian forest with an outdoor classroom, four tennis courts, a large lower field used by teams and classes, two playgrounds, and a "quad" with an adaptive playground, where senior students often relax and eat lunch during the warmer months. There are about a dozen buildings on the Branksome Hall campus, including three that are home to the school's 70 boarding students (Sherborne House, MacNeill House and Ainslie House). Tuition for the 2011-12 school year is 26,265 CAD for day girls (28,265 for IB1 and IB2) and about $50,295 CAD for boarders.

Famous quotes containing the word setting:
“High from the summit of a craggy cliff,
Hung o’er the deep, such as amazing frowns
On utmost Kilda’s shore, whose lonely race
Resign the setting sun to Indian worlds,
The royal eagle draws his vigorous young”
—James Thomson (1700–1748)
““Oh, let’s go up the hill and scare ourselves,
As reckless as the best of them tonight,
By setting fire to all the brush we piled
With pitchy hands to wait for rain or snow....””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Teaching Black Studies, I find that students are quick to label a black person who has grown up in a predominantly white setting and attended similar schools as “not black enough.” ...Our concept of black experience has been too narrow and constricting.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
