They serve approximately 245,000 students in 588 schools throughout Toronto, and more than 160,000 life-long learners in their Adult and Continuing Education programs. Their mission is to enable all students to reach high levels of achievement and to acquire the knowledge, skills, and values they need to become responsible members of a democratic society.

The TDSB is proud to be one of the most diverse and multicultural school boards in the world. They welcome students from all countries. Attending school in Toronto is a rewarding experience with many benefits. Toronto is a beautiful, clean and safe city. International students will learn about other diverse cultures, gain new perspectives and meet new friends while getting a first rate education. Their teachers and counsellors understand the needs of their international students and know that they often require help adjusting to life in a new country. Their staffs speak a variety of languages and they are always willing to offer friendly guidance on academic and personal issues.

TDSB staff members are the backbone of the system. A talented community of educators and support staff are dedicated to enriching the lives of all students and helping them achieve success. The TDSB employs approximately 40,900 individuals who build a positive learning environment by supporting their Strategic Directions and Mission Statement. Their standards are high because their students are their number one priority.
