: Why Rosedale?
Rosedale provides its students excellence in academic achievement as well as the opportunity to develop their skills in the performing or visual arts. Students are welcomed to a warm, friendly learning environment by staff and fellow students. Rosedale provides a wide range of courses in the arts, traditional academics, business and technology; see: Rosedale Courses. A high percentage of graduating students are admitted to a university or community college of their choice, many receiving scholarships.

Housed in one of the most versatile and attractive secondary schools in Toronto, our facilities include state-of-the art computer and science labs, a modern resources centre, video animation equipment, modern gymnasium, dance studio and swimming pool.

Communication with parents by Teacher Advisors, subject teachers, and school administration is a priority at Rosedale. Each student receives an individualized report card four times a year. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to be involved in their student's learning through the School Council and Arts Advisory Committee.

: The Rosedale Family
Rosedale draws its students from across the city, thereby reflecting the truly diverse and rich character of Toronto. Parents have an opportunity to participate in the School Council that has existed for over 8 years. The School Council membership also includes students and teachers from the school. The partnership of the three constituencies has nurtured an effective evolution of the school. Members of Council represent the school in local area and city-wide educational committees such as Ward Councils, as well as make presentations and submissions to the Board and its committees. All parents are welcome to attend monthly Council meetings.

A Parents Arts Committee (PAC) consisting of parents provides support to the teaching staff through activities such as fundraising and promotion. Many parents offer to share their knowledge and skills to enhance student learning. In addition, many parents volunteer at the school on a regular basis as teacher-aides and coaches. Speakers from the local arts and business communities complement classroom lessons.
