1923 – Strathallan School founded with premises on 15 Robinson Street in Hamilton.
1962 – The two colleges, now named Hillfield-Strathallan Colleges, were put under a single Board of Governors, which ran the colleges in co-ordinated but separate manner during a transition period. The current site of the college was acquired, a 50-acre (200,000 m2) campus on 299 Fennell Avenue West on the Hamilton Mountain.

Art Program:
Hillfield Strathallan College is a place where students feel an integrated approach to the arts from the very origin. When exposed to multiple artistic opportunities, our students can discover an area of interest, which, with the HSC faculty's support, develops into a passion.
Creative writing, design, drama, music, photography, poetry, and visual arts are just a few of the many offerings available to students at Hillfield Strathallan College as they progress through the College. Students are afforded various opportunities to present their artistic talents within the College community and are supported to share their passion with organizations outside the walls of HSC.
Athletics:
Athletics plays a vital part in developing lifelong attitudes about health fitness, sportsmanship, and cooperation. Students participating in team sports learn leadership, perseverance, and responsibility. Physical education can also help students develop mental toughness and self-confidence. There is something great about exceeding your limits, pushing through a physical barrier, and achieving something you once believed was out of your reach.
International Students:
Hillfield Strathallan College welcomes international students. At HSC, an international student is defined as a non-permanent resident or Citizen of Canada.
International students accompanying their parents on a work visa may apply from 18 months to Grade 12. Hillfield Strathallan College Senior School also accepts international study to permit students. Study permit students may register in the host family program.

While attending Hillfield Strathallan College, I experienced a terrifying incident on the school bus. The driver took an extremely dangerous turn inside a tunnel, and despite my immediate report, no action was taken. This blatant disregard for student safety is deeply concerning. Parents should be aware that the transport service may not prioritize your child’s well-being.

My journey at Hillfield Strathallan College was transformative. Two remarkable educators, Mr. Saccheti and Mr. Zika, recognized my potential and completely changed my outlook. They helped turn a struggling, disengaged student into someone driven to achieve academic excellence—which eventually inspired my admission to medical school. I am forever grateful to these mentors and strongly encourage parents to consider this school for the support it provides.

I deeply regret placing my 2.5-year-old son at Hillfield Strathallan College. His primary caregiver seemed unresponsive and emotionally detached, leaving him distressed and anxious. Even after a full year, he remains far from his happy self, and we have now had to seek professional help. I wish I had trusted my instincts and found a more nurturing environment for him.

My time at Hillfield Strathallan College, over 50 years ago, remains one of the most cherished periods of my life. The dedicated teachers and dynamic extracurricular programs—ranging from competitive sports to cadet training—provided a solid foundation for my future. I remain eternally grateful for the enriching experiences and lifelong friendships fostered by this remarkable institution.

Attending Hillfield Strathallan College filled me with relentless stress and anxiety. The rigorous routines in gym class and the harsh, unyielding treatment from teachers left me feeling humiliated and overwhelmed. Instead of understanding individual struggles, instructors merely labeled me as lazy. This constant pressure severely affected my mental well-being, and I would caution anyone who values a supportive atmosphere to reconsider their choice.
