Tempus Litteris Demus (Take Time to Learn)


Since 1908, Oakwood CI has provided a strong, welcoming, and caring community for each of its students. We strive to serve the needs of the community through exceptional programming in academics, arts, and athletics. Long recognizing that each student has specific learning needs, we provide a supportive and CARING environment to ensure everyone achieves to his or her highest potential. In meeting the needs of each student, we pride ourselves on our diversity, our equity and our high standard of excellence.
At OCI, we Believe in your child --- we C.A.R.E.!
C - Curriculum & Instructional Relevancy & Responsiveness
A - Achievement & Student Success
R – Relationships, Respect, & Responsibility
E – Excellence

We are particularly passionate about starting students off on the right foot, which is why we are the first school in Toronto to offer a gr. 9 Enhanced Pathways Program with all academic level programming for students who have traditionally selected between the Academic & Applied courses. Proud of our staff’s bold effort towards “doing something differently” for our students, this program will ensure students keep their options open for post-secondary school & in turn, their career paths. Providing opportunities & experiences that inspire students to reach new heights, develop confidence in their abilities to learn, & teaching them the academic skills that are integral for success in high school, are at the forefront of our initiative.
