Bloorlea Middle School is located in the west end of Toronto at the corner of Bloor Street and The East Mall. Our school opened its doors in 1957 and currently serves 300 middle school students. We are proud of our dedicated teaching and support staff. Bloorlea staff place a high priority on a positive and active partnership with our parents. Our Code of Conduct and Dress Code reflect our goal to achieve a learning environment that is safe, nurturing, positive, and respectful. We welcomed our first Grade 6 Extended French class from Briarcrest P.S. to Bloorlea in September 2007.
