Google Translate Limitations Disclaimer
The electronic translation service on the ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø website is hosted by Google Translate, a third party service. The ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø does not guarantee or warrant the reliability, accuracy or completeness of any translated information.
The quality of the translation will vary in some of the languages offered by Google. Google Translate is a free service and currently offers translation in over 100 languages, but does not capture all languages or dialects.
The basic translation goal is to capture the general intention of the original English material. Before you act on translated information, we encourage you to confirm any facts that are important to you or may affect any decisions you make.
The ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø is committed to equity and community engagement, and by providing this tool, we are making our information more accessible to families whose first language is not English.
³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø has a wide range ofÌýElementary Alternative SchoolsÌýavailable to students. Families are encouraged to research schools and programs to learn about the educational philosophy and distinct pedagogy before completing the online application.
Elementary Alternative Schools will hold information sessions and/or open houses for students, parents/guardians/caregivers from November to January. Visit theÌýElementary School Open Houses and Information NightsÌýweb page for dates and times. If the school is not hosting an open house or information session, please contact the school directly for information about the Elementary Alternative School.
Note: Student’s Primary Home Address is the address where the applicant is currently residing. If you own property in Toronto, but tenants reside at this property, you may not use this address as a claim of Toronto residency. You must apply based on the current address where you live. If your current ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø school does not have this address on record, please provide them with documentation to support the proof of residency immediately.
The online application process form opens theÌýmorning of Monday, January 6, 2025.
The deadline to apply is 4:00 p.m. on Friday, January 31, 2025. Applications will not be accepted after the deadline.
Students applying for Elementary Alternative Schools Admissions in JK should also register at their local/designated school by primary home address in case they are not selected at their requested Elementary Alternative School. If selected, the parent/guardian/caregiver must notify their local school.
Applicants can apply up to two (2) schools: a PRIMARY school choice and an ALTERNATE school choice. The Alternate choice is optional. A complete list of Elementary Alternative Schools is available on the ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø’sÌýElementary Alternative Schools webpage.
The Alternate school choice will only be consideredÌýafter allÌýprimary school choice applications have been considered in accordance with our priorities (see sectionÌýElementary Alternative Schools Admission Priorities).Ìý
Applicants from outside the ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø, except for City of Toronto JK applicants, will only be considered after all ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø applicants have been considered for their Primary and Alternate school choices.
Seats are generally available in the entry grades of each school (i.e., Junior Kindergarten (JK) and Grade 7).
There are very limited seats available in other grades. If there are available seats in the non-entry grades, applicants will be entered into the Random Selection Process. If there are no seats available, applicants will be notified by email prior to the Random Selection Process.
