Albert's Memorial Chapel is located at the centre of the school. Faculty, residential staff and students begin their day here with an assembly. On certain days, this 15-minute gathering will include announcements relating to school events and it also features prefect skits and thematic presentations.
Each Wednesday morning, there is a more formal Chapel Service of approximately 30 minutes when students are expected to wear their dress one uniform. More formal services are also conducted in November (Remembrance Day), at Christmas, Easter and at Convocation.
Although the heritage of our chapel worship is Christian in nature, great care is taken to honour all religious traditions. Guest speakers and faculty share knowledge of these traditions with the entire school community in the chapel setting. These Wednesday services also include presentations that raise awareness about important issues in the community and globally. Each year, special care is taken in planning services to commemorate Black History Month, World Aids Day, and to support such causes as the 30-Hour Famine, the Terry Fox Foundation and HIV/AIDS Research.

Our Wednesday services provide a framework for students to begin thinking about their own spirituality and ways to get involved in our community and abroad. Students often leave from these services inspired to keep challenging themselves to greater heights and to find meaning in the world around them. Through the diverse messages of Dr. Seuss, Ghandi, Martin Luther King Jr., the Bible, Mr. Bean and the like, these chapel services teach us to discover who we are individually and at the same time, challenge each of us to create community.
