NCC & drill
The National Cadet Corps has been part of Dalhousie since 1990, building bearing and discipline.
For the children who dream in uniform.
Few schools can prepare a child for the armed forces the way a school born of them can. The Dalhousie Defence Pathway turns that heritage into a real route.
A heritage of service
A school shaped by soldiers.
Our chairman came to Dalhousie from the 2 Para Special Forces, and Founders Days here have been graced by the Chiefs of the Army and the Air Force. That heritage is not decoration. It lives in the routine, the mentors and the standards we hold.
- NCC since 1990
- Indoor shooting range
- Ex-forces mentorship

You will not lie awake wondering.
Because you will have met the people who will know your child by name, seen the room where they will sleep, and stood in the air they will breathe every morning. Choosing a school is a big decision. Come and make it with your own eyes.
