Fulford Academy offers a variety of club options to local day and boarding students. Students have the opportunity to improve their existing talents in areas such as athletics, music and the arts, or they can get out of their comfort-zone and try something new! Our clubs are geared to include options that take place on campus, while other clubs take place in our surrounding community of Brockville.

Fulford works in cooperation with several different institutions in Brockville to provide volunteer opportunities for boarding students. Volunteering is a great way for Fulford students to give back to the community and engage with locals to get a true Canadian cultural experience. Fulford Academy students are actively involved in volunteering with organizations such as the Brockville Braves, Loaves & Fishes and community clean-up days.

Fulford competes against local high schools in the Leeds and Grenville Secondary School Athletics Association (LGSSAA). Our high school athletic program is an integral part of our Student Life environment and gives high school students the opportunity to travel around Brockville and the surrounding area to compete in organized sports. Our high school students on athletic teams learn the importance of rules and sportsmanship, they gain time-management skills and realize the importance of commitment and working together towards a common goal.

**The formation of our athletic teams may vary from year to year based on enrolment and ability.

Each student at Fulford Academy is assigned a staff advisor. Advisors meet with their students weekly to discuss academic, social, and co-curricular progress with students. If the advisor feels it necessary, they can communicate with families to discuss concerns or achievements with families. At all reporting periods, Heads of House will include an anecdotal comment from the advisor for the family of their student. Comments will often outline success, challenges, and any strategies they are putting in place with the student for improvement.

Through our core values of courage, respect, and wisdom, students have the chance to truly make a difference in their world and the world around them.

Fulford Academy Prefects will be held to a higher standard than other students and used as a role model for all others in the school. There are several levels of Prefects; Junior Prefects and House Prefects. Each position has additional responsibilities within the school, but also additional privileges.
