Tiferes Bais Yaakov seeks to help our students internalize the joy and excitement of a Torah-true way of life, and seeks to instil a deep-rooted understanding of Torah values in each of our students. TBY endeavours to provide our girls with the skills necessary to function successfully in today's society and become contributing members of their community and the Jewish community at large. This is accomplished through inspiring and rigorous Limudei Kodesh studies, secular academic excellence, and midos and character development, thereby producing young women equipped with the tools to help them reach their educational and spiritual potential within the guidelines of Torah-true Halacha and Hashkafa.

Fairmount Public School was built in 1951 at the foot of Fairmount Avenue, now known as Dorset Road. Additions were made to the original 8-room building in 1953, 1956 and 1962. An interesting historical feature of the school is a set of three architectural sculptures designed by the builder, Murray Brown, depicting the basic skills of reading, writing and mathematics. These are on the outside north wall of the school. Centred in an older neighbourhood, bordering on the Scarborough Bluffs, the school has seen a great fluctuation in enrolment over the years. Currently, the school population is stable as more young families move into the community. We currently house a Sunshine Daycare
