Karen Kain School of the Arts

Our Philosophy

Karen Kain is an Integrated Arts school

where students study the Ontario Curriculum through an Arts lens.

We are a collaborative environment

with a focus on social justice, equity and empowering student voice.

Our focus is on the process

of creating and appreciating art, which makes us different from a Performing Arts School.

At KKSA, all students study the arts

through Dance, Drama, Vocal Music, Visual Arts and
Media.

Our school is one of TDSB's Specialized Programs, and all incoming students are required to apply through the program's website.  The application process for the 2026-2027 school year has now closed. Acceptances and waitlist status will be sent via email to all applicants on February 11, 2026. Offers expire February 17, 2026 at 4 p.m.  Please do not contact the school directly for selection results as these are sent centrally.
