Eastern Commerce Collegiate Institute was a public high school in Toronto, Ontario. It offered a range of courses leading to all Ministry pathways: University, College, Apprenticeship, and Workplace. Co-operative Education is an integral part of the curriculum.
For students entering post-secondary education, the school offered a Specialist High Skills Major in Business and Marketing. For students going into the workforce, two Business certificates could be linked with Co-op and Information Technology: The National Retail Business Certificate and an internationally recognized Computer Licence Certificate. In 2002, the department won the Kenneth Fryer Award for excellence in mathematics teaching. Classes were integrated with technology including computer labs with Internet access and Smart Boards.
Located close to Donlands subway station, Eastern was readily accessible to students from all parts of the City of Toronto. Eastern Commerce shared the building with Subway Academy I, and it is also very close to Danforth Collegiate and Technical Institute.
The school closed down in June 2015.
A Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) – Business is a type of ministry-approved specialized program. A SHSM allows students to focus on knowledge and skills that are of particular importance in certain business sectors, and to obtain certifications recognized in the business field, as they work towards meeting the requirements for an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). Students would graduate with a Business SHSM designation on their diploma. They were prepared for success in the business sector and in the postsecondary destination of their choice, whether it be apprenticeship training, a college or university program, or the workplace.
Eastern Commerce offers several extra-curricular sports:
Intramural activities are scheduled to begin at Eastern Commerce in September 2009.

Despite its small size, Eastern Commerce always competed at the top level of provincial competition in basketball. During the 2008–09 season, the school became the first institution to win Boys and Girls AAAA Basketball Titles.
