2025/26 DMCI Open House and Information Night:
Tuesday November 11th, 2025
Hello DMCI parents, guardians, and students. On Tuesday, November 11th, 2025 Don Mills Collegiate Institute will open is doors and host our annual DMCI open house and grade 8 information night. A special presentation about our Cyber Arts program and Gifted program will be available.
Post Secondary Fair.
DMCI will host a University & College Post-Secondary Fair in our DMCI cafeteria on Monday Oct 6, 2025. Students will have the opportunity to visit University and College representatives and get valuable information.
Individual university and college information sessions will also be scheduled for DMCI students in October and November. Individual College and University visit date/time will be posted in the Student Services google classroom and announcements will be made in the school.
We’re hoping that our DMCI students do research and ask the representatives relevant questions that will ease their stress levels and help them make informed and confident post-secondary decisions. Families are also always encouraged to participate in open houses offered by each university/College and visit post secondary campuses in person.
