CBE schools are assigned by home address. Thorncliffe School is the designated elementary only if your address falls inside its catchment — confirm yours with an address lookup. Alternative programs are application-based and many run an admission lottery — they are not guaranteed by address.

Before & after care
Thorncliffe School no longer offers before and after school care.

“One is the Kindergarten to Grade 6 regular school program for children who live in the community and the other is a Traditional Learning Centre Kindergarten program.” — Thorncliffe School's own page
