We are extremely proud to say that boarding life has always been an integral feature of TSS since the first boarders arrived in 1909 into Thorold, McKinley, and Delpratt Houses. The boarders bring to TSS their unique personal qualities and perspectives and are foundational in providing a unique community within a community in our School.
