Please refer to the Applying to Attend FHCI Website for many specific details around the timelines and requirements for in-area and Optional Attendance applications.

Is Forest Hill C.I. Open for Out of Area Admissions (formerly called Optional Attendance)?

Each year in December, the status for Secondary Schools is determined by the TDSB.  For the past many years, FHCI has been open for "Limited" status for Out of Area Admissions.

Does every student who applies for Out of Area Admissions get in?

Unfortunately, the demand for Out of Area Admissions outweighs the available seats in the school. FHCI follows the Out of Area procedure for applicants. 

How many students are chosen for Out of Area Admissions?

The number of seats allocated for Out of Area Admissions changes every year and depends on:

  • the number of seats allocated to the school
  • the number of in-area students opting to attend Forest Hill
  • the number of applicants through Out of Area Admissions

February 2018 - 68% of applicants were accepted 

February 2019 - 56% of applicants were accepted 

February 2020 - 74% of applicants were accepted 

February 2021 - 69% of applicants were accepted
