Please note that the TDSB's Out-of-Area Admissions process is managed centrally through the TDSB and not by Virtual Elementary School.
Below is a list of expectations and important notes for all students attending Virtual Elementary School. Please read this information carefully before submitting your application to attend VES.
All VES students are expected to:
- Complete the proof of Ontario residency attestation process in August 2025. Required documents must be presented in-person at a specified TDSB location. Details to follow. The Ministry of Education requires that all students attending VES reside in Ontario for the duration of the academic school year (September-June). Students will be demitted on the date of their departure from Ontario. There are no exceptions.

Important notes:
- VES follows a remote synchronous (live, interactive) learning model. Asynchronous learning options are not available.
- VES follows the same daily school schedule as all TDSB schools. The school day starts at 8:50 a.m. and ends at 3:10 p.m.
- VES has two ISP programs: the Developmental Disabilities ISP and Mild Intellectual Disability ISP. A placement in either of these ISPs can only be arranged through our Central Special Education staff.
- Students registered at VES cannot participate in TDSB sports with their home school by address/former home school.
- Students in a graduating position will graduate from VES, not their former school.
