Our school has an interesting history in this community. Davisville School was originally built as a two-room school in 1860 and named after the first postmaster of the Village of Davisville. The present school was built in 1962 and was the home of two separate and unique schools. In September 2002, Davisville Junior Public School and The Metropolitan Toronto School for the Deaf (MTSD) were twinned. Approximately 260 pupils are enrolled in regular program and 40 students in D/HH division. In September 2009 Davisville JPS became a dual track school offering English (regular program) and Early Fench Immersion (Grade 1 to 6). As our French Immersion program expands, we will be welcoming two new Grade 2 classes in September 2011.

Deaf and Hard of Hearing Program

We are pleased to be one of TDSB's home schools for students who have been diagnosed as Deaf and Hard of Hearing. We encourage integration where beneficial. Currently we welcome students from Kindergarten through Grade 8 in this program. Read more about Deaf and Hard of Hearing Program

Music and The Arts

All students from Kndergarten to Grade 8 enjoy a vocal music program taught by a specialist teacher. Junior students also benefit from itinerant music programs in Strings and Band. In-school theatre presentations, field trips to LKTYP and film festivals provide enrichment for all. Read more about Music and The Arts

Recognition Assemblies

Collaboration, teamwork and partnerships are vital components in our community. With this in mind, students and staff meet once a month to concentrate on our Character Education and celebrate student achievements. Each assembly is led by a class or classes and focuses on a character trait.

Student Success

Our school is committed to student success. Teachers conduct regular assessment to ensure programming is responsive to student needs. The School Support Team meets monthly to provide support/interventions for students and families. Complementing the regular programs Davisville PS/MTSD has Early Reading Intervention, ESL and Special Education programs.

Healthy, Active Living

We promote a healthy, active lifestyle as part of 'Toronto Schools on the Move'. All classes participate in Daily Physical Activity (DPA) and have "gym" at least 3 times per week. Co-curricular activities keep students active at lunch. Our Nutrition Program provides a morning snack to all students. Read more about Healthy, Active Living

Professional Learning Teams

The Davisville/MTSD staff is committed to working and learning together in Teaching Learning Critical Pathways. Primary and Junior teams determine areas of curricular focus based on student achievement data, develop common assessments and analyse student work to ensure consistency of marking across grade teams.
