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.

Notable alumni include John Turner, Canada's seventeenth Prime Minister;[7] Stockwell Day, former leader of the Official Opposition; Ben Barry, founder of the modeling agency Ben Barry Agency Inc.;[8] Canadian war artist and heraldry expert Alan Beddoe; actor Matthew Perry; and journalist Adrian Harewood.

In 1891, Wollcombe was recommended by the head of Bishop's, and by some Ottawa-based parents of his BCS students, to start a school there.

[4] He still found time regularly to make the four-hour train journey to Lennoxville to teach his classes.

In 1905, Ashbury College had twenty borders, fifty day boys, led by the headmaster and a staff of five graduates.

[11] In 1910, the school (called Ashbury College after Woollcombe's English home) moved to its current location on 13 acres (5.2-hectare) in the village of Rockcliffe Park.

[13] Ashbury College's innovative and modern adaptations include Canada's first teaching green roof, and a LEED Gold-certified boys' residence.

Ashbury College was included amongst other architecturally interesting and historically significant buildings in Doors Open Ottawa, held June 2 and 3, 2012.

The three large windows show pictorial representations of Canon Woollcombe as Teacher, Preacher and Counsellor.

A window is dedicated to Alfred Beaufort Belcher a member of Ashbury staff from 1942 until his death April 4, 1963.

The 1955 design includes the crests of the Royal Military College of Canada and a few lines of one of Belcher's poems "and God runs quiet fingers through ...the tired hair of the World".

Ashbury follows a traditional approach to education in the liberal arts and requires participation in athletics and volunteering/community service in order to graduate.

Students with older siblings or alumni parents are put in their "family" house and others are randomly assigned.

Ashbury College offers the International Baccalaureate Bilingual Diploma program and has had a university placement rate of 100% for the past fifteen years.

Ashbury also offers co-curricular programs in bilingual debating, drama & theatre, Model United Nations, the Yearbook Committee, and the 'Blazer' (student magazine), among many others.

In 2017, the senior boys varsity basketball team won the Ontario provincial championship, and the school also captured OFSAA medals in rugby, swimming, Nordic skiing, track and field, and tennis.

Other additions included a new double gymnasium, four new classrooms (equipped with SmartBoards), a student common area, a staff room, and several offices.

The students pleaded guilty in a Boston courtroom to the charges, and were punished according to youth criminal justice laws (namely, probation and juvenile detentions).

[24] The college’s disciplinary panel initially ruled the teachers guilty as they failed to immediately report the sexual assault to the parents of the boy.

However, in December 2015, the two teachers were fully exonerated and charges dismissed, after winning an appeal in the Ontario Divisional Court.
