Balmy Beach Community School

For ALL students to become responsible, creative, self-sufficient learners.


Balmy Beach Community School is located in the Beach, just minutes from Lake Ontario. The original school on this site, Pine Avenue School, was built in 1906. The school had 4 rooms on 2 floors and opened with 3 teachers and a principal in 1907.  Many additions were built over time; in 1975 the current building opened. Nestled against a gentle rise, the unique design fans out from the beautiful Library, which features a south-facing terrace used for many learning activities.  Balmy Beach CS serves just over 400 students.  The facility is shared with Balmy Beach Day Care and a City Parks and Recreation Centre.
