ABOUT US

 At Drewry you will always feel welcome. Our class sizes are small with a safe, nurturing and supportive environment. We have many extra-curricular activities and clubs including choir, dance, West Coast African drumming, student council, talent shows, gardening, visual arts, dance and cooking.

If you love sports, we offer basketball, soccer, bowling excursions, martial arts, weight training, and staff-student sports during the lunch hour.

We also value the importance of exploring the community in which we live. As such, opportunities for field trips are provided to such areas as community centers, outdoor education facilities, libraries, museums, art galleries, naturalized sites and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra.

Our teachers and support staff work to accommodate different ability levels. We offer practical opportunities for students to test their new skills in a hands-on learning environment.

One of the hallmarks of our school is the fostering of community spirit. As such, we support many opportunities for students to engage with each other during fundraising activities, school-wide extreme makeovers, and a variety of assemblies highlighting student abilities and celebrating student  success.
