Principal's Message

Etobicoke Collegiate Institute (ECI) is a community-oriented secondary school steeped in academic excellence and stellar leadership development since 1928. For over 25 years, we have fine-tuned our successful Rams Camp Leadership program - an ECI tradition shared by generations of students who throughout their lives continue to benefit from this extraordinary leadership experience.

In order to meet our goals of providing exceptional academic and leadership opportunities, ECI focuses on students’ personal growth by challenging them socially, emotionally and intellectually to find their leadership niche. Yes, academics are important, but we also believe leadership develops out of a variety of experiences. ECI’s programs (drama, art and robotics), as well as its myriad of clubs, athletics and co-op placements provide multiple avenues for success. We observe leadership maturation regularly when students discover their strengths and develop, grow, share and encourage others to find their place within ECI’s spirited environment.

ECI is steered by dedicated administrators, high-calibre teachers and an enthusiastic student body and council. Generous alumni and a supportive parent council help fundraise and assist with communication, community engagement and marketing initiatives. We continue to nurture and appreciate the mutually beneficial relationship developed over many decades with the community. Together, our success evolves through volunteers and hosting vibrant student-sponsored charity events, theatre productions, sporting events and concerts.
