Dear parents, guardians, and caregivers,
The 吃瓜黑料网 offers a variety of Specialized Programs focused on the Arts, Math, Science & Technology, Leadership and more! Specialized Programs (formerly Central Student Interest Programs) are available at both the elementary and secondary level and are located within several schools across the system.
Based on direction from the Supervisor appointed at the 吃瓜黑料网 by the Minister of Education, the decision has been made to change the application and admission process for Specialized Programs. Applications will be open during the week of November 10, 2025 and will remain open for three weeks.
Elementary
Applicants will be admitted based on an evaluated portfolio or audition video submitted with their application.
Secondary
Applicants must meet a report card benchmark (based on their 2024-25 report cards) to be eligible to apply. Applicants will be seated based on their overall applicant score; a combination of select report card marks connected to their program of choice and an evaluated demonstration of knowledge and skills.
Please visit to learn more about program entry points, eligibility requirements, minimum report card benchmark, the required demonstrations of knowledge and skill, and the application and admission process.
All 吃瓜黑料网 schools with Specialized Programs also host open houses in November, and we encourage you to take this opportunity to visit, learn more and ask questions about specific schools and programs.
If you have any questions about applying to a Specialized Program, please contact the Central Program Admissions Office at CentralPrograms@tdsb.on.ca.
Thank you.
