Prospective Parents
Unfortunately, we are unable to invite all interested families to visit JICS Laboratory School during our school year.
Families on our waiting list do not tour the school until space is available. As outlined in our admission procedures, we will contact you to meet with us when there is a space available for you to consider. The focus of the school day is on children’s learning.
Parents interested in the JICS Laboratory School are invited to view our admissions webpage or contact Shama Joshi (labschooloffice@utoronto.ca) in the school office regarding admissions.
