Message for International Students and Families

Thank you for choosing the Toronto District School Board as your destination for studies. We hope the following information will help you plan for the 2021-22 school year.

Secondary students will have two options for Fall 2021:

Studying online from their home country
Studying online or in-person in Toronto

Current students are strongly encouraged to contact the Guidance Counsellors for International Students ( GCIS) for advice prior to June 30, 2021. Please click HERE to find their contact emails.

A survey will be sent out to all incoming new secondary students (September 2021) and parents/custodians very soon. Please make sure you check your email regularly.

New elementary students need to be physically in Toronto to report and register. Online learning will NOT be available if you are not in Toronto. Current elementary students should contact their schools for learning options.

We encourage families and students to visit the following websites for important information before making travel plans to Canada:
