Étienne Brûlé Junior School


Étienne Brûlé Junior School is a small community school in South Etobicoke. Established in 1957, it is named after French explorer Étienne Brûlé, the first European to reach the Humber River area. The school serves about 310 students and reflects a diverse community. Guided by the TDSB Multi-Year Strategic Plan, our work centers on student well-being, equity, achievement, and human rights. We prioritize mental health so students feel safe and supported. We foster belonging and an inclusive environment where students and families are valued partners in learning.

Our instructional practice is guided by high expectations for all learners and a commitment to continuous improvement. Teaching and learning are grounded in curriculum fidelity and evidence-based approaches, including Universal Design for Learning (UDL), differentiated instruction, and collaborative learning structures designed to support accessibility, engagement, and success for all learners. Technology is used purposefully to enhance instruction and deepen learning. Through equitable, culturally responsive, and inclusive practices, Étienne Brûlé Junior School is dedicated to advancing student achievement and well-being and ensuring success for all students in a safe, respectful, and engaging learning environment.
