Students must apply through the central TDSB application portal. A centralized random selection process (lottery) will be used if there are more applicants than spots. 50% of the spots this year will go to students of Valley Park Middle School, and 20% of spots will go to historically and currently underserved communities, namely students self-identifying as Indigenous, Black, Latino, Latina or Latinx and Middle Eastern. Students applying from within the City of Toronto will be prioritized over those outside.
