2025 YCDSB Secondary School Open House Schedule

2025 YCDSB Secondary School Open House Schedule

This fall, the York Catholic District School Board will host a series of in-person high school open houses for parents and graduating elementary school students starting secondary school next September. All Grade 8 students and their parents who reside in York Region, as well as Grade 6-8 students and their parents who reside in the towns of Georgina and Whitchurch-Stouffville, are encouraged to review the list of high school open houses and attend the open house for their local Catholic high school, and any other schools with regional programs of interest.

The open houses will highlight key aspects of each school, including administration, programs, graduation requirements, uniforms, school structure, student opportunities and more. Information about the registration process, including registration dates, deadlines and documents needed to enrol, will also be discussed at the open houses. This information is also available through the Board’s Admissions Department. Admission to York Catholic high schools is open to all students residing in York Region, in accordance with the rules governing open access and a student’s right to attend.

York Catholic high schools are highly sought after for their academic programs focusing on well-being, equity and inclusion. York Catholic District School Board has the highest English-language graduation rates in the province. Our high schools are well-known for their innovative programming, caring staff who help guide students, leadership opportunities, engaging student life and our Board’s consistency as one of the top-performing school boards in Ontario.
