The South campus is located at 200 Wilmington Ave. in Toronto, and serves students living south of Steeles Avenue.

[edit] Feeder patterns

Elementary schools that feed into CHAT include Associated Hebrew Schools, Bialik Hebrew Day School, Leo Baeck Day School, and United Synagogue Day School. There is a New Stream program for students who did not previously attend a Jewish School, in addition to a special education program for students with learning differences.

[edit] Future plans

In September 2007, the North campus is slated to move into the new Kimel Family Education Centre at Bathurst St. and Weldrick Rd. in Vaughan, Ontario. Capital improvements at the South campus are also planned in the near future.

[edit] Noted alumni

CHAT is well known to produce a disproportionate percentage of the city's physicians, laywers, and businessmen. CHAT alone is estimated to have produced 5% of graduates from the law schools at York and UofT and the medical school at UofT over the last 30 years.
