North Toronto Collegiate Institute (North Toronto CI, NTCI. or North Toronto) is a non-semestered, public high school institution for over 1,200students located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The School is operated and governed by the Toronto District School Board. From its founding until 1998, it was overseen by the Toronto Board of Education.
The school is located in Midtown, Toronto in the Yonge and Eglinton neighbourhood. The majority of students come from the surrounding Chaplin estates, Lytton Park, Mount Pleasant, Davisville Village, Bayview Avenue, Moore Park, Lawrence Park, Broadway Avenue and St.Clair Avenue areas. The closest TTC subway station is Eglinton station. The motto is "Labor Omnia Vincit" which means, Work conquers all.
North Toronto celebrated its 100th anniversary in May 2012.
North Toronto High School was founded in 1910 and was traditionally housed in the North Toronto Town Hall. The original two-storey school building had five rooms, and was completed in 1912 (the same year that the town of North Toronto became part of the City of Toronto). Later, the school was renovated to include a third storey and became the north side of the old building, once the south section was built. Other additions included the 1956 math (east) wing, swimming pool, cafeteria and auditorium, as well as the science wing in 1966-1967.
In 2002, the North Toronto Collegiate Institute was one of the oldest buildings in the TDSB, and was in need of major repair. A planning process was undertaken to build a new school. Due to a lack of available capital funding at the school board, a decision was taken in 2003 to seek private investment to augment funding committed by the TDSB. Subsequently, Tridel, a large Canadian condominium development corporation, bought 0.7 acres of land from the TDSB for $23 million. Ground breaking occurred November 21, 2007, a year after the project had originally been slated for completion. During construction the school remained open to students because the new building was built on the location of the old sports field. The old building was later demolished.
