Education
What schools are in Danforth?
Schools marked Home school are the ones the Toronto District School Board assigns to addresses here, read from its own attendance areas. A neighbourhood usually spans more than one. Catholic and French boards draw their own boundaries. Boards assign a home school per address, so two houses on the same street can be served differently, and boundaries, programs and enrolment rules change. Look up your exact address with the board before it matters.
