School Transfer Policy

Grade 9-12 students must attend their assigned school for 1 full year before requesting a transfer.
International students should retain the services of a homestay that is within a reasonable travel distance from their assigned school. Transfers will NOT be granted based on travel distance upon arrival in Canada, or a change of homestay during the student’s time with TDSB.
Current Students Attending TDSB
School transfer requests from Grade 9-12 students will only be considered for the following reasons:
- Programming availability (excluding AP, IB, and specialized programs)

Any transfer requests must be made at least 1 semester in advance. Last-minute transfer requests will not be considered.
Transfer requests must be reviewed by the Guidance Counsellor for International Students (GCIS) at your school. Please meet with your current GCIS to discuss the school transfer process.
