Schools are one of the biggest decision makers in buying a home, especially for families with school going children. All the school boards in the Greater Toronto area are highly competitive and ensures continuous improvement in the learning process of our kids on an ongoing basis.
There are several schools in each of these school districts that provides a healthy and competitive learning atmosphere to the children. The below table gives you the list of some of the best schools in the area. The information is collated from various sources including Fraser Institute, one of the popular school ranking organizations, and can be used as a reference in your research for the best schools.
Note: All cities may not have all types (i.e., Elementary, Middle, Secondary) of schools. In such cases, students’ home school will be the ones in the nearby cities belonging to the same school district.
