We help students get back on track at school. For many reasons, students
may not be able to succeed at a traditional high school. If you have tried other
large high schools, we may be a better fit for you. With only 40 students, we
offer a different format, a chance to create your successful future. If you are
between the ages of 16 and 18, we offer you Grade 9 and 10 courses to help
you integrate into a high school, to attend another alternative high school or to
pursue work-experience programs after Grade 10. We welcome students from across Toronto.

We offer courses in mathematics,
science, English,
history, geography, civics,
careers – but with a difference.
Our programs are locally
developed compulsory
credits, specially designed to
meet the age and life experiences
of our students.
