Etobicoke Collegiate Institute

A Little History

Etobicoke Collegiate Institute (ECI) was founded in 1928 on the principles of high academic standards. 

As a full service secondary school we strive to reach the needs of individual students to prepare them for post-secondary success. If you are motivated to excel in both your academic and personal achievements then our school community is for you

Renowned for our strong leadership programs, incoming students may choose to be part of our Leadership Development stream. As a moderately sized school of 1000 students, we are able to offer our students a wide array of courses, opportunities and activities both inside and outside the classroom. Explore our school website to get a more detailed look at who we are. 

Our staff and community partners believe that excellence in the high school experience extends beyond the classroom.  To promote social, emotional, and intellectual growth, we offer students opportunities for responsible leadership through our wide array of extra-curricular clubs and organizations. Our new formalized Leadership Development Program let students grow in the area that interests them - Academics, the Arts, Athletics and Social Justice and Citizenship are the focus choices students follow as part of their personal plan.

In addition, students have many ways to get involved in our many extra-curricular programs which include:

  • a variety of sports teams;
  • music, drama and art productions;  
  • Student and Athletic Council;
  • EcoClub
  • Rotary Interact Club
  • Homework Club
  • Knitting Club
  • ....and many, many more.
