Agincourt Collegiate Institute (known locally as ACI or Agincourt) is a secondary school located in Agincourt, a neighbourhood in the Scarborough area of Toronto, Ontario owned and operated by the Toronto District School Board that was sanctioned by the Scarborough Board of Education prior to merger in 1998.
The school, founded in 1915 as Agincourt Continuation School to provide part of the then secondary schooling in the area (final years or junior/senior matriculation were done in Markham High School until 1930). school was renamed Agincourt High School in 1954, and Agincourt Collegiate Institute in 1957. A.C.I is the oldest school in the former Scarborough. From 1915 to 1929 it was housed on the second floor in what is now Agincourt Junior Public School building on the west side of Midland Avenue north of Sheppard Avenue. Agincourt's first permanent home opened on the east side of Midland Avenue in 1929, a three floor brick building. The second and current building replaced the second school in 1952.
Currently its feeder schools are Sir Alexander Mackenzie Senior Public School, Henry Kelsey Senior Public School, and Sir Ernest MacMillan Senior Public School. In September 2011, Emily Carr Public School with a grade 4 Extended French Programme which started in 2006, became another feeder school for Extended French students.
ACI is located in the region of Agincourt, one of the most ethnically diverse communities in Scarborough. As of 2007[update], 76% of the student body speaks a primary language other than English. Additionally, 18% of its students have lived in Canada for five years or less.
