Our Perspective
How we see Toronto District Christian High School
TDChristian was founded in 1960, and the school has grown considerably over the years. Throughout has been an abiding attention to stewardship within the school community and beyond. Service trips are a cornerstone of the curriculum, and that tone is set from the first week in Grade 9, with all students spending two days working with organizations supporting the city’s homeless population—TDChristian has partnerships with the Yonge Street Mission, Scott Mission, Habitat for Humanity, Church of the Redeemer, Good Shepherd Centre, St. Francis’ Table, and the Salvation Army. Of course that’s just one aspect of the program, though it’s telling of the approach taken within the school. The families that turn to the school often do so in an awareness of the character learning that is woven throughout the curricular and extracurricular programs. Despite the age of the school, all the facilities have been recently updated, including the integration of technology in the classroom. That process is continuing with a capital and development campaign that is currently underway. The ideal student is one who will thrive in an active, diverse, values-based learning environment.

What do you do differently and uniquely well?
"What makes us different is the lengths we go in getting to know each student who walks through the door. It goes beyond academics—we want to know the person. That's why we offer over 40 clubs, mixed grade homerooms, regular assemblies, and plenty of opportunities to have each student find a place in our school that's their own. As a staff, we meet weekly to discuss students who seem to be struggling academically or socially. It's truly a caring environment!"
To your knowledge, why do families choose your school over others?
"It's that students are known, the parent-teacher-student connections are strong and often, and that we offer so many experiences outside the classroom as well. Parents also appreciate that we are open about our Christianity. All of our staff are Christian, all of our classes are taught through the lens of Christianity, and we really believe that life is about service to our neighbours and God. On the financial side, many of the items other schools charge for, we include in the price of tuition."
What aspect of your school is underappreciated?
"One underappreciated aspect of TDChristian are the opportunities for students to delve into the trades. Through internships and events like the Skilled Trades and Career Fair, students gain invaluable hands-on experience and exposure to various vocational paths. These avenues not only foster practical skills but also offer insight into fulfilling career options beyond traditional academic routes."
What might families find surprising about your school?
"Families may be surprised by the strong sense of belonging fostered at TDChristian High School. Beyond academic excellence, the school prioritizes creating a supportive community where every student feels valued and included. Whether through small class sizes, mentorship programs, or a variety of extracurricular activities, TDChristian ensures that students develop meaningful connections with peers and faculty."

Working well with others is an important workplace skill. For many projects, presentations assignments, students work together. Through experience and with teacher guidance, students learn how to interact with peers to complete common tasks.
At TDChristian, we help students learn for service in the light of God’s Word through innovative and dynamic learning. Students are pushed to become discerning, learn ways to conduct themselves, and serve God and neighbours in an ever-changing world.
Science facilities
At TDChristian we have built large science rooms. Our large science rooms provide students easy access between desks, which promote theory learning, and laboratory tables, which foster experiential learning.
In our well-equipped STEM (Science, Engineering, Technology, Math) space, students solve problems through creating, designing, and building using cutting-edge technology in our Tech Tank and traditional tools in our shop area.
Students often solve problems in groups.

Our campus offers beautiful green space.

Message from school leadership
William Groot, Principal
At TDChristian you'll hear the words enfold, engage, and empower a lot! But what do they mean? First, we enfold students, getting to know them for their unique personalities, talents, and ambitions, and helping them fit into our friendly community of learners. You're never just a number at our school. Next, we engage students with stimulating learning opportunities, academic rigour, and real world projects. Finally, we empower students to take control of their own learning and connect it with the larger world.
On top of that, every single subject is taught from a Christian perspective and we don't shy away from the big, important questions of life.
We invite you to discover our passionate, committed teachers, our one-of-a-kind programs, and our beautiful facilities today.
