TDSB Academies for elementary students

Registration for five new Elementary Academieshas kicked off, providing exciting new opportunities for students to explore their individuality and creativity within the TDSB.

The five new Academies – including Boys’ Leadership, Girls’ Leadership, Sports and Wellness, Health and Wellness and Vocal Music – are slated to open in nine schools across the Board this September. These Academies build on the TDSB’s record of creating programs that promote excellence and encourage the talents of students in new and innovative ways.

“These Academies will promote the talents of our future musicians, artists, health experts and leaders,” said Director of Education Chris Spence. “If we offer programming that interests young learners and ignites a passion inside them to want to learn, then I think we’re going to see something special happening. Students will want to come to school, they’ll want to get involved, and they’ll want to help shape what their school day looks like.”

Students attending an Academy will be part of a culture that balances academic excellence with a focus on personal leadership, character development and innovation. They will be provided a dynamic array of learning options to follow their own path to success. There are no specific admission requirements – just interest and passion.
