About Bloor Collegiate Institute

Welcome to Bloor Collegiate Institute

Remember, it will always feel good when after extensive hard work, you achieve something on your own without any help or assistance. This sense of achievement will eventually generate the feeling of pride, self-esteem and confidence. That self-confidence will boost your spirits, and you start seeing positivity in every situation and problem. However, achieving such a state is not possible without discipline.

The school was named as the TDSB secondary school showing the greatest rate of improvement in the 2011–2012 Fraser Institute Report. The school is (as of the 2014–2015 ranking) ranked at 16th place out of the 627 secondary schools in the province.

I have a strong connection to Bloor Collegiate Institute, having spent years walking through its sports fields. Now, my daughter is part of this school community, and it’s wonderful to see the place I once passed through now shaping her education.

Bloor Collegiate Institute is one of Ontario’s standout schools. While not every teacher is perfect, the school excels in academics, extracurriculars, and location. Situated next to Dufferin Station, students enjoy easy commuting, nearby shopping centers, and a fantastic library surrounded by green spaces. Many great leaders have graduated from here, making it a solid choice for any student.

While Bloor Collegiate Institute offers a solid academic experience, its basketball program lacks the resources needed for students to break into major league opportunities. Improvements in coaching and facilities could help students with aspirations in competitive sports.

Bloor Collegiate Institute could do more to support international students. Greater inclusivity and tailored programs would allow students from diverse backgrounds to feel more at home and excel academically.
