Thistletown Collegiate Institute


Thistletown Collegiate Institute (TCI) is a safe and caring school dedicated to student success. Our longstanding tradition of academic excellence and rich co-curricular programs make TCI a very rewarding place of learning. We honour all pathways and provide great opportunities for all students to prepare for university, college, apprenticeships and the world of work. In addition to a very strong core program, we offer our students terrific opportunities in the Arts, Physical Education, Co-operative Education and Technology including Specialist High Skills Majors in Hospitality (Food) and The Arts (Dance, Drama, Music and Visual Arts). Many of our graduates go on to post-secondary institutions with prestigious awards and scholarships.

At TCI, we offer a full range of courses in our academic programs. Business, computer and technology programs are part of our compliment of courses. E-Learning and Continuous Intake Co-op courses also provide different methods to engage students in learning. TCI has great technology shops and a fully equipped industrial kitchen to support our very successful Food and Hospitality Program. Our literacy initiatives are developing interest and skills in reading and writing and our retention and remediation initiatives help our students stay in school and be successful. We have a strong Mathematics and Science program, with many course enhancement opportunities as well as supports for those students who require some extra help.
