Out of Area Admissions
TDSB students have the opportunity to access schools outside of the school that is designated to serve their home address by applying for Out-of-Area Admissions. Acceptance at these schools is subject to space availability and program suitability.
Each year in November, schools are classified Out-of-Area Admissions based on the space they have available for the upcoming school year.

Addressing School Safety
The TDSB is committed to schools that are caring, safe, welcoming, and respectful. Student and school safety is an urgent priority for staff, students, families, and community members and the TDSB will continue to invest resources in school safety. The Board is taking a number of different steps to improve school safety across the Board including the hiring of additional staff to better support students, staff and school communities, creating a Safe Schools Audit Team to work with schools on safety issues, and forming an Expert Table Reference Group related to school and community safety with representation from recognized service providers across the City (e.g. The Centre for Mental Health and Addiction, Toronto Public Health, City of Toronto) and include students, parents, Trustees, staff, and faith-based groups.
