The TDSB has created a "beyond8" section that provides Board-wide information about the important transition from Grade 8 to high school. You can also use this to help in your research!

Choices: Planning for Grade 9 contains information about course types and the diploma requirements. It also explains other relevant opportunities that will be available throughout high school. The Choices: Secondary Program Guide will help you explore the many programs available in TDSB secondary schools.

Please see this link for the Secondary Schools Without A Boundary (SSWAB) as the TDSB policy changed for 2025/26 school year. Please check with your elementary school for applications to Central Toronto Academy (CTA) and Northern Secondary School (NSS), now with applications through SSWAB vs. direct entry.
