A rundown of the schools near Kingston and Victoria Park
Courcelette PS
Total number of students: 326
With a relatively small student population and an idyllic location near the Toronto Hunt and the lake shore, it’s a pleasant place to send the kids. Strong parent involvement and excellent SchoolQ scores seal the deal.
Williamson Road Jr. PS
Total number of students: 572
Williamson Road is a larger school and its ratings are a mixed bag, but its French immersion program makes it an east-end standout for parents who value early language acquisition.
Malvern CI
Total number of students: 1127
Malvern consistently posts solid SchoolQ results. The school has extensive athletic programs, including its very own basement pool and swim team.
Beaches Alternative Jr. School
Total number of students: 75
This small alternative school operates out of Kimberley Junior Public School. The educational program emphasizes strong parental involvement.
St. Denis
Total number of students: 297
Above-average SchoolQ results and a location that’s easy walking distance from Queen Street (and kid-favourite ice cream shop Ed’s Real Scoop) as well as Balmy Beach Park make this a fine place to learn and grow.
