The Yorkland School (TYS) is the middle and upper school division of the North Toronto Christian School, one of Canada's largest independent Christian elementary schools. The school offers a full academic and athletic program from grade 7 through grade 12.


Religion

The Yorkland School is an evangelical Christian high school, but the school is not affiliated with any specific church or denomination. Bible classes are a regular part of the junior high school program. The Bible is used as an integral part of the high school English curriculum and all matters of counselling, discipline and school life are governed by a commitment to Biblical principles and values. See School Philosophy.
