From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spectrum Alternative School sits in mid-town Toronto. It is is a public alternative school within the Toronto District School Board. Each year, the school has approximately 60 students, divided into two classes: one 7th grade, one 8th grade. The principal is shared with Eglinton Public School, which exists in -- and occupies most of -- the same building.

Three teachers deliver the curriculum, while encouraging close relationships among students, and between students and teachers. Subjects are delivered in large blocks of time. Independent studies, special projects and hands-on-learning form much of the learning day.

Students enroll through a written application process, open across the school board (T.D.S.B.). A lottery then determines the names of all successful candidates.
