Loyalist College has announced plans to build a new campus in Port Hope.
The College will use the site of the former St. Mary’s Elementary School located downtown.
Staff note in a statement that the first group of students will start next fall. The College hopes to have over 400 students at the site by 2026.
Loyalist is currently accepting applications from international students who are interested in learning in Port Hope. Domestic applications will open up in October.
“A new Loyalist College campus signals that Port Hope is a place for opportunity and growth. We are thrilled that Loyalist College is building on the successes they have established since first offering programming in Port Hope in 2017. Their presence in the Municipality brings scores of benefits to the downtown and our whole community and we commend Loyalist College for their forward-thinking approach to delivering post-secondary education to Port Hope and Northumberland County,” said Bob Sanderson, Mayor of Port Hope, in a statement.
