The Sterling Hall School was founded in 1987 when Darlene Ferris and a small group of dedicated teachers realized her vision of a progressive and caring education for young boys. This young school which began with 17 students has grown to an enrolment of 300 under the leadership of Principal Ian Robinson. Yet throughout this period of growth it has maintained a devotion to its founding principles: small class size, a nurturing environment, academic, artistic, and athletic excellence and character development.
