George Syme Community School's motto is 'Believing in achieving, together we make it happen!'As a school in the Model Schools for Inner City program, George Syme is committed to student achievement by building strong partnerships with families and the community. Recently celebrating its 100th Anniversary, the school has seen many changes. Now a vibrant open concept school, located near Jane and St. Clair Avenue West, George Syme hosts a French Immersion program. Its diversity is seen and heard in the halls and on the playground as students, parents and staff speak in over 30 languages. We strive to deliver curriculum through units of study where students see themselves as agents of change. George Syme is the hub of the community offering many programs for students and parents during and beyond the school day.
