Birmingham International Collegiate of Canada (BICC) is a private high school in central Toronto; it was founded in 2006 primarily catering to international students. Toronto is among the most culturally diverse cities in Canada, and so multicultural values are at the centre of BICC students’ educational experiences.

More than 400 students are educated each year from grades 9-12. The curriculum is heavily focussed on teaching effective communication, diligent use of technology, and preparation for entry into Canadian universities and post-secondary programs. Camps in both summer and winter are also available, along with dedicated English programs (IELTS, ESL, EAP). Scholarships too can be awarded based on students' IELTS exam performances, as well as Creative, Leadership, Community Service, and Athletics scholarships.

Above all else, BICC considerately educates students in an environment that promotes positive self-image and encourages continuous development of both one’s self and their contributions to their local and global community. Smaller class sizes ensure that each student gets the attention and support they need to thrive and go above and beyond their capabilities. BICC staff are highly qualified and dedicated to providing top-notch instruction. Languages spoken by BICC counsellors include Mandarin Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese, and Turkish.
