To help you make an informed decision when choosing a high school, TDSB schools host open houses and information nights for parents and grade 8 students each year. Open houses take place between October and January and are an opportunity to learn everything you need to know about our incredible variety of schools, programs and courses.

Each Grade 8 student and family is highly encouraged to attend open houses for your home high school and any other specialized or optional attendance programs you may be considering. It is important to be organized and plan visits in advance to avoid schedule conflicts. Open houses are an opportunity to find out specific program details, application requirements and deadlines. Remember, Grade 8 students can apply to a maximum of 2 specialized programs and 2 optional attendance schools within the TDSB.
