Secondary Schools Without a Boundary (SSWAB) – The legacy technical and commercial boundaries for five TDSB schools (Central Technical School, Central Toronto Academy, Danforth Collegiate and Technical Institute, Western Technical-Commercial School, and Northern Secondary School) have been dissolved to expand access to all students. Beginning with admissions for September 2025, all interested students must apply for entry to a Secondary School without a Boundary regardless of where they live. The application opens on January 6, 2025, and the deadline to apply is January 24 at 4 p.m.
SSWAB Admissions Priorities 2025/26
The technical and commercial boundaries that are currently showing on the “Find Your School” site only apply for entry during the 2024-25 school year. They do not provide access for those starting in September 2025. 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.
