Important Dates

Consider your options...

Making the transition from junior school to a middle or senior school can be stressful and confusing.  At Spectrum, we understand that choosing a school that is the "best fit" for a child is extremely important.  Our open house and application process are designed to make applicants think about whether or not our small, urban, arts-focused, project-based school is a good match for them.

When considering options, think of these questions:

Are you …

  • an independent, creative problem solver?
  • someone who accepts and embraces the differences that make us unique?
  • curious and excited about learning?
  • punctual and attentive?
  • interested in expression through the arts?
  • a student who takes responsibility for your own learning?
  • love to work equitably in a team approach?
  • a person who gives as much or more than you take?

If you answered YES to all of these, perhaps Spectrum might be a good fit.

The Selection Process

  • The selection process will be determined by a lottery.
  • All applicants apply to Spectrum Alternative through a new centralized process.

If you have any questions or concerns about this process please contact EAS.Application@tdsb.on.ca 

OR Jyothi @ jyothisatyan.hiremaglur@tdsb.on.ca for any questions regarding School.

Thank you for your interest in our school, and should you consider applying for a place in the school, we wish you all the very best in the application process.
