Your Community Place for Learning
The Leonard Braithwaite program is being introduced for the first time at the secondary school level in Canada. The program will offer grade 9 students the opportunity to learn through an Africentric lens for their core courses. The courses will be designated as academic in order to provide students with the most choice for future pathways. With the introduction of our specialized J.U.M.P with Advanced Placement program, students will be challenged with enriched course content and provided more choice. Applications for both programs can be found on our school website. We believe in our students and their achievements, whether academic, athletic or personal. We respect their needs. We nurture their dreams.

Our athletes do very well, too, often winning championship games.We are so proud!
Equity and Diversity
An equity camp enables students to take an active role in workshops. In 2009 our Churchill group “Leaders for Equity; Partners for Change” was featured in the Toronto Star for its work raising awareness around issues of race, class, gender, sexual orientation and ability. An inclusive curriculum and the Pink Shirt Day, April 30th, Bullying Stops Here are paramount.
A Strong Sense of both Local and Global Connection
Our annual Cultural Connections Week is just one of our many school-wide events that fosters a global conscience. For 5 years we have raised money to send students to the Dominican Republic where they become involved in improving local living conditions. Churchill students embrace many causes; Pakistan relief, toy and food drives, Me to We, and work with the Scott Mission. Read more about A Strong Sense of both Local and Global Connection
