History of SOC

Southern Ontario College (SOC) was established in 1980 with the goal to provide an exceptional educational experience in Canada for international students. SOC specializes in the highest quality university preparation and placement.

The school opened with a mandate to offer students an environment conducive to learning, celebrate diversity and offer academic excellence. Since that time, the school's reputation has grown and SOC is now regarded as a first-rate pre-university secondary school. The school is a provincially government-inspected college which parents trust. SOC is a place where students flourish, achieve, and succeed.

Our caring, qualified staff and the low teacher:student ratio continues to provide students with the optimum academic environment for learning. To this end, over 97% of SOC's graduates, many with scholarships enter prestigious Canadian universities.

SOC is located at 430 York Boulevard, a beautiful, convenient building located in the heart of Hamilton. The school is comfortable, bright and well decorated. The teachers and staff focus on one thing - preparing students from around the world for academic success. SOC's success as a school is based on responsibility, accountability and achievement.
