Claude Watson School for the Arts (CWSA) is a Toronto District School Board specialized arts school serving students in Grades 4–8 from across the City of Toronto.

CWSA provides a comprehensive educational experience that integrates academic excellence with specialized instruction in the arts. Students spend approximately half of their instructional day studying the Ontario curriculum and the other half engaged in arts education.

All students participate in four artistic disciplines: Dance, Drama, Music and Visual Arts. Through specialized instruction, creative exploration, collaboration and performance, students develop artistic skills, critical thinking, confidence and an appreciation for the arts.

Our program encourages students to pursue academic achievement while developing their creativity, artistic expression and individual potential.
