School History
Don Valley Middle School was built by 1971 and has been serving the community for over five decades. It has a rich history of academic excellence, inclusivity, and innovation.
Don Valley Middle School is a dual track school, offering instruction in English and French. We are a school with a rich diversity of cultures whose traditions, languages, and perspectives provide our students with a myriad of opportunities to interact, communicate and collaborate to achieve academic success. We offer a challenging, friendly and safe environment where students can develop not only their academic skills, but also their social and emotional skills. Our commitment to excellence, strong academic programming, rich programs in the Arts, Technology and Athletics create an atmosphere which supports our motto: "Where All Can Learn/Vivre Pour Apprendre."
Don Valley Middle School transitioned from being a junior high school to a middle school in 2016. This change aligned with the broader shift in the Toronto District School Board's educational structure, focusing on the middle school model for Grades 6 to 8 to better support students during this critical developmental stage.
