Find Your Secondary School
Did you know that Ontario and Canada continue to be recognized as top performers in education around the world?
With graduation rates and test scores in reading, writing and math well above provincial averages, YRDSB is one of the top-performing school boards in the province.
No matter which YRDSB secondary school or program you attend, you will receive a high-quality education in a safe, inclusive and caring environment.
Find Your Home School
Most students attend their home school - the school in your neighbourhood. Every secondary school offers high-quality education, caring staff and programs to help you build skills for the future.
Specialized Programs
As you begin secondary school, you can also explore specialized programs based on your interests, skills or career goals. Some require applications and may be offered at a different school.
Learn more about specialized programs and where they are offered.
French Immersion or Gifted Programs
If you are currently attending a French Immersion or Gifted program, then you have been set up for course selection at the secondary school offering the French Immersion or Gifted program serving your area. If you do not wish to continue in the program, please speak with your Grade 8 teacher advising you on your course selections.
Schools that are Open or Closed to Transfer
Each year, YRDSB reviews student enrolment and space in secondary schools to ensure all students can be accommodated. Students who transfer to a school outside their home attendance area must be accommodated without limiting opportunities for local students.
To help families with transfer decisions and course planning, secondary schools are identified as either:
- Schools Closed to New Transfers
- Schools Open to New Transfer Requests
Enrolment Capped Schools
Some schools have been identified to be capped due to lack of sufficient space to accommodate further enrolment growth.
