Don Bosco Catholic Secondary School (also called Don Bosco, Don Bosco CSS, DBCSS, Don Bosco Toronto, or simply Bosco), housed in the former Keiller Mackay Collegiate Institute building, is a Catholic secondary school in Etobicoke in the city of Toronto, Ontario and is located north of the intersection of Islington Avenue and Dixon Road in the Kingsview Village neighbourhood. The school is named after Saint John Bosco since 1978.
In 2014, Don Bosco adopted a Self-Directed Learning program, similar to that of Mary Ward Catholic Secondary School in Scarborough, becoming only the second such school in the GTA and third in Ontario to do so. The school as since disbanded this method and returned to the regular class system. In 2017, the school wil be shutting down.
