Шаблон:Infobox school C.W. Jefferys Collegiate Institute is a semestered public secondary school in the Keele and Finch area of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

History

Шаблон:Expand section The school was founded in 1965. It was named after Charles William Jefferys, a Canadian artist whose work has contributed much to education in the areas of Canadian History and Art. The first Head of the Art Department was James Meechan, a stained glass artist.

Graduation rates at the school, which had been low, improved significantly after 2015, when, as part of a school board pilot project, grade 9 and 10 classes were destreamed to create more flexibility for students.[1] Principal Monday Gala was later recognized as an outstanding educator for this initiative.[2][3]

Academics

The school offers a Visual Arts Program which draws students from the neighbouring school area; many of the teaching staff for this program are practicing artists. Additionally, it is home to the ESTeM Enriched Science, Technology and Mathematics Program - a project-based, hands-on, exploratory approach to Sciences, Mathematics, and Computer Technology.[4]

The school participates in York University's Advanced Credit Experience (ACE) program, which provides co-operative learning experiences in the community.[5]

The school also runs student success initiatives supporting "at risk" students through the Learning to 18 pilot project, "Stay Connected", mentorship[6] and the credit recovery program offered at the school.[7][8] There is also an after-school activity program and a Focus on Youth summer program.[9][6]

The academic and student support initiatives have resulted in an increasing number of students securing bursaries or scholarships for post-secondary education.[4]
