Island Public/Natural Science School's Mission Statement
The Island Public/Natural Science School dates back to 1888. It is located a short ferry ride from the city on the Toronto Islands at 30 Centre Island Park.
Three programs are run from the school: a Full Day Kindergarten to Grade 6 Day School that services the Island & Harbourfront community. These students are transported to the school by ferry and school bus. We currently have 11 classes which are supported by Music, Core French, Physical And Health Education, Media Literacy, Dance & Drama and Special Education.
Building a Respectful School Climate
At the Island Public/Natural Science School we strive to meet the individual needs of students by creating a learning environment that fosters a feeling of belonging and inclusion, a love of learning, and a format for conflict resolution. This is achieved by continuously striving to strengthen our partnership between parents and the community. We aim to create the conditions for students to feel safe, positive and engaged in their learning. We also develop respect and responsibility through student leadership and team building, student interest clubs and character trait assemblies.
