Toronto’s Africentric high-school program finds a home

The Toronto District School Board has opened enrollment for the city’s first Africentric high-school program, which will kick off this fall at Scarborough’s Winston Churchill Collegiate. (Oakwood Collegiate on St. Clair Avenue was previously tapped to host the program, but hundreds of students and parents opposed the idea and called the program a form of segregation.) Despite the fact that the Africentric Alternative School has been up and running for three years now, we still expect supporters and nay-sayers to clash over the expansion of the city’s Africentric programs.
