Secondary Schools Without A Boundary

Secondary Schools Without a Boundary (SSWAB) – The legacy technical and commercial boundaries for five TDSB schools have been dissolved to expand access to all students. 

The Secondary Schools without a Boundary are:

  • Central Technical School
  • Central Toronto Academy
  • Danforth Collegiate and Technical Institute
  • Western Technical-Commercial School
  • Northern Secondary School*

* Students wishing to attend Northern Secondary School who do not live within the Collegiate boundary for that school must apply through this process to attend Northern Secondary School.

The application for SSWAB can be found within the Secondary Out-of-Area Admissions application.

The Secondary Out-of-Area Admissions application for September 2027 will open on January 4, 2027 and close at 4:00 p.m. on Friday, January 22, 2027.

SSWAB Admissions Priorities 2027/28

Out of Area Admissions

Out-of-Area Admissions (OOA) – Online applications for elementary and secondary Out-of-Area Admissions open on January 4, 2027. This is the process whereby students can apply to attend a school outside of the school designated to serve their home address. Acceptance is subject to space availability and transportation is the responsibility of the applicant. The Secondary application deadline is January 22, 2027 at 4 p.m.  

Jarvis' Out-of Area Admissions status for 2027/28 is Limited. This means that students outside the catchment area may apply for Out-of-Area Admissions. The school may admit students from all of the priorities, as space is available.
