Welcome to Humberside C. I. - Home of the Huskies
Humberside is a non-semestered school which offers a challenging program and is committed to assisting students to become responsible, capable and caring citizens with a lifelong curiosity for learning and a desire for excellence.
Established in 1892, Humberside Collegiate Institute's architecturally significant building sits in one of the most beautiful settings in the T.D.S.B. Just as Humberside has had strong foundations in the High Park community so too are the foundations that we provide in academic excellence and tradition.

French Immersion and Extended French
Extended French and French Immersion are large growing programs at Humberside C.I. Introduced in 1980 and 1983 respectively, our French programs are an integral part of the Humberside experience.
Language students have international travel opportunities during March Break and participate in local cultural activities, French contests and conferences such as French For The Future.
Upon completion of the French programs graduates receive a Certificate of Bilingualism.

Strings, instrumental and vocal musical ensembles participate and compete in our vibrant, very busy performance calendar including the May and Jr/Int.

Archives and Local History
Archives is a signature interdisciplinary course unique to Humberside. It combines the study of local history with the acquisition of archival research skills. Our partnerships with the West Toronto Junction Historical Society and city and provincial archives allow us to provide hands-on experiences. Students in this course act as our own Humberside archivists. Read more about Archives and Local History
Biotechnology
Biotechnology is one of the major growth industries of the 21st century and our unique biotechnology interdisciplinary course will provide a head start into this growing field. Our partnership with the federal government and Biotalent Canada has enabled us to offer a lab-based program that features DNA analysis, cell transformation, gel electrophoresis and more.
International Languages and Classical Studies
Latin and Classical Studies are an important part of the Humberside experience. This extremely popular program offers opportunities for our classics students to travel on international trips and compete at the Ontario Classics Conference. French and Spanish students also travel abroad, compete in annual competitions and form a major part of the Humberside identity.
Media Studies
One of our most popular programs, the Media Studies courses are interactive and creative, focusing on the relevance of the course content to today's society and to young people. Offered in gr. 11 and in 12 as an interdisciplinary course these two courses challenge the creative side of students, teach media literacy and are just plain fun!
