Orde Street is currently undergoing a Program Area Review by TDSB to address our significant capacity issues. The Program Area Review will also include Kensington Community School and King Edward Jr & Sr Public School, and includes a review of school boundaries (catchment area) and grade configuration changes. 

Current State

Orde is currently at 92% capacity with 0 available classrooms. Some classes are taking place in the foyer. 

If no changes are made: 

• We will be short a classroom by September (-1 classroom), operating at 96% capacity. 

• In 5 years, we will be at 117% capacity with a shortage of 5 classrooms (-5 classrooms). 

• By 2040, we would be at 165% and short 14 classrooms (-14 classrooms). 

Future numbers are based on the number of developments in the area and account for international students.
