Director's Message

Welcome!

In the Provincial Schools Branch, our goals, just like those of the ministry and government as a whole, are focused on the student. We believe that our purpose is to reach every one of our learners and unlock their potential. We aim to increase our students' levels of achievement and to reduce the gaps in achievement of those needing extra help.

The dedicated staff at our schools and in our residences work in partnership with the students, their families, local school boards, and communities to ensure that our students have a sense of belonging in a safe and caring environment where they are supported in their unique learning needs and are challenged to actualize their potential. The resource services we provide to school boards reflect our commitment to all students in Ontario, who are blind, low-vision, deafblind, Deaf, hard-of-hearing, or severely learning disabled.

Since the first provincial school opened in 1872 and continuing to this day, we embrace our diversity and build on our effective practices to support students and teachers and share our knowledge with educators in Ontario and worldwide.

Welcome to the Provincial and Demonstration Schools.
