OUR SCHOOL

Walk through the doors of UTS and you step into a storied and historic institution that is also alive with energy, innovation, and creativity. 

We offer high-achieving students a truly transformative experience where they thrive in a community of engaged peers and are nurtured by a team of stellar specialist educators. We place intellectual enquiry, creativity, and breadth and depth of learning at the heart of our program along with an emphasis on wellness, physical activity and community involvement. Merit-based admission and financial accessibility are cornerstones of the UTS philosophy. Through our bursary program we work to ensure that financial limitations do not present a barrier to entry and that any child who is qualified to attend, can do so.

UTS boasts a unique urban location at a major downtown Toronto transportation hub. The school is at once part of the city it calls home, and home to students from all over the city. Consequently, it is truly reflective of the GTA. When our students graduate from UTS, they move on to a wide range of programs and universities – including some of the most well-regarded in Canada, the US, and internationally – often on scholarships. UTS is unique in Canada as the only university preparatory school located on a university campus. Our affiliation with the University of Toronto affords our students access to many U of T facilities – including library resources and sports facilities. Our students and staff are engaged in research and project partnerships with numerous university departments.

THE UTS DIFFERENCE

At UTS, we offer students a transformative education. Our program encompasses the full scope of academic subjects, athletic pursuits, artistic engagement, co-curricular opportunities, and a deep commitment to the development of well-rounded individuals. Our cadre of exceptional, specialist educators engage with students in the cultivation of a lively, challenging and caring learning community.

Inquiry-based learning and problem solving are central to developing critical and inter-disciplinary thinking, collaboration, creativity and innovation. Integrally embedded in our approach is a commitment to equity and inclusion, wellness, and full-school support. The UTS curriculum allows for the study of a broader range of subjects in greater depth so students can continue to take a wide array of courses throughout their time at the school; all students take Health and Physical Education through grade 11.
