The Centre of Excellence for Black Student Achievement is the first of its kind in public education in Canada. The Centre of Excellence is dedicated to improving the experiences and outcomes for Black students and aims to be responsive to the voices of Black communities who continue to advocate for systemic change within educational institutions and for dismantling anti-Black racism at the TDSB.
The creation of the Centre of Excellence for Black Student Achievement was approved by Trustees with the Toronto District School Board in June 2020 and officially launched a year later with a virtual celebration in June 2021. Winston Churchill Collegiate Institute is the official location of the Centre of Excellence for Black Student Achievement and its grand opening was held in-person and virtually in June 2022.
The Centre of Excellence for Black Student Achievement offers a variety of programs, initiatives and engagement opportunities for students and families. Program offerings are designed to fulfill the mandates of the Centre and are in alignment with the TDSB’s Multi-Year Strategic Plan Towards Excellence in the Education of Black Students: Transforming Learning, Achievement and Well-being.
Programs, initiatives and opportunities are focused on honouring Black students’ experiences and strengths and ensuring their needs are met.
