Ashbury College is an independent day and boarding school located in the Rockcliffe Park area of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It was originally founded in 1891 by former faculty of Bishop's College School in Quebec to accommodate BCS students living in Ottawa.[4] Ashbury College moved to its current location in 1910.[5] Previously, it occupied what now houses Senate of Canada offices. It is an International Baccalaureate World School, a member of the Canadian Accredited Independent Schools, and a member of Round Square. The school currently enrolls approximately 550 senior (grades 9-12) and 150 junior (grades 4-8) students.[5] The current Head of School is Norman Southward, with Andrew Young directing the Junior School and Gary Godkin as the Head of Senior School.

Originally a single-gender boys school, Ashbury began accepting female students in 1982. The male/female student proportion is approximately equal. The campus is 13 acres (48,562.277 m2) in Rockcliffe Park.[6] There are 108 boarders yearly from approximately 30 countries throughout the world.
