Halton is centrally located between Toronto and Niagara Falls and our communities are consistently ranked as some of the best places in Canada to live and work.   Our region is one of the fastest growing regions in Canada because of our perfect balance of big city amenities and small town charm. We are proud to say that all our communities are safe and diverse.

​​Halton offers first class ed​ucation that supports all students regardless of where they come from, what languages they speak, and what career path they want to follow.  Our teachers work hard to customize lessons and course content to match individual student’s learning styles and previous learning.  There is a wide variety of course types and levels that help students move towards their goals for post-secondary education and future careers.  All our teachers are certified and must follow the high standards set by the Ontario government.​

We know  school is more than academics. We encourage all students to join a team or club to get involved with the school community.  ​We are proud of the wide range of activities that our schools offer: from music to sports, from theater to robotics, from social justice to visual arts.

​We are excited that you are learning about Halton.  We know that all our students and teachers in all our schools are enriched by international students.  We value your points of view and cultural perspectives and we hope you share them with us to help us grow as well.
