2 kinds of District School Board in Toronto

2010-08-22


For new Canada Immigrants, the schools categories always makes them be confused. When they searched out through searching engines such as Google, they might see different "District School Board" sites, and they might make mistake after they check the website information, for example: they want to apply A school, but they might get the school information is belongs to B which it is a similar school under another "District School Board".

OK, let me try to clarify these mess, but I just give the info due to my personal experience : By now, I know there are at least 2 big and popular "District School Board"s in Toronto:

1: Toronto District School Board (TDSB)

About the TDSB

The Toronto District School Board is the largest school Board in Canada and the fourth largest in North America. We have nearly 600 schools and serve more than 250,000 students each year.

2: Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB)

Toronto Catholic Schools A Long and Proud History of Service to the Community

The Toronto Catholic District School Board is proud to be a significant part of the fabric of publicly-funded Catholic education in the Province of Ontario. We serve more than 93,000 students in our 201 Catholic schools, and represent close to 475,000 Catholic school supporters in this city.
