Sheppard Public School is located at Keele Street and Sheppard Avenue West across from Downsview Park, Canada's 1st National Urban Park. The school was officially opened in 1958.

More than half of our students speak a primary language other than English. Over 35 different languages are spoken. The most common languages spoken are Cantonese, Vietnamese, Tamil, Urdu, Punjabi, Persian, Spanish, Gujarati, Mandarin and Swahili. Many of our students or their parents have immigrated to Canada. This diversity enhances and enriches our school community.
