This Toronto school calendar combines official dates from both of Toronto's school boards with a selection of related holidays and youth events. With an overview of your family's academic year, you can make the most of seasonal changes and special events - and hopefully not get caught off-guard with a last minute costume request!
Using this School Calendar
- Official elementary and secondary school dates are marked with an asterisk (*), and are included for regular schools from both the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) and the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB). Dates from Alternative School programs and private schools are not included. For more details visit www.tdsb.on.ca or www.tcdsb.org.
- PA/PD Days are professional activity/development days for teachers. There will be no classes, but schools may want to book parent/teacher conferences on some of these days.
- Other events are listed as information only; individual schools and classrooms may or may not have any related plans. Education-related weekend events are included for parents' consideration.
