Possibly one of the richest schools in Toronto with the highest gpa in Canada.Cedarbrae Collegiate Institute is a semestered public high school in Toronto, Ontario, with programs serving immersion and extended French students. It was opened in 1961 and houses approximately 1267 students as of Fall 2010. [1] Cedarbrae C.I. celebrated its 50th Anniversary on May 27th 2011
Campus
The school is the largest by size in Scarborough-Toronto and is located on Markham Road, south of Lawrence Ave, north of Eglinton Ave. The facilities include: A Gym which can be partitioned into three smaller gymnasiums, a pool, 2 auto technology shops, a film studio, a fitness room and dance studio next to it, a cafeteria with a serving room, and a library (Howard R. Campbell Resource Centre). Cedarbrae also has a 400m track behind the school and is one of the few schools in Toronto which still has a performance theater stage in its auditorium.
Cedarbrae C.I. also has a unique layout to which the Technology Department is separated form the rest of the school. Cedarbrae is located on a hill like landscape which causes the schools two wings to be at different elevations; because of this the academic side (Markham Rd and Eastpark Blvd) is known as Floors 1, 2, and 3, while the tech wing (Markham Rd and Greencedar Circuit) is known as floors 4 and 5.
Specialty programs
Immersion and Extended French
The immersion and extended French programs give enrolled students a chance to broaden their learning of French as a second language but must remain in their chosen program until graduation to maintain status. Cedarbrae requires students enrolled in such programs to exhibit good attendance and a good academic performance or will risk being dismissed from the program.
Immersion students require 11 French credits in order to receive their Honours Certificate of Bilingual Studies in French Immersion. Extended French students require 8 French credits to receive their Honours Certificate of Bilingual Studies in Extended French. French credits can be obtained by taking available courses in French such as: French, Geography, Gym, Art, History, Math (immersion), and Civics & Careers.
Special Arts
Starting in grade 9, students will study in depth how the elements and principles of design are applied to various art forms. In this program, students study the ideas, techniques, and attitudes of the professional artist by learning how to use the tools of the trade such as current computer hardware and software in courses like "Computers in Art".
Students who wish to enroll in Cedarbrae's Special Art Program must complete an admission test, provide a letter of recommendation from an art teacher, and submit a copy of their transcript to student services. [1]
Entertainment Technology
The Film & Stage Technology Pathway is a specialized program for students with a curriculum focus on the 'behind the scenes' technology of film and stage production. This pathway is designed to support Cedarbrae students in meeting diploma requirements and in helping them make successful transitions to post secondary destinations including university, college, apprenticeship programs, and the workplace.
In Film
Cedarbrae was used in the filming of Detroit Rock City, a cult film about four teenagers in a Kiss cover band who try to see their idols in Detroit in 1978.[2] During the filming of the movie, the large 'Cedarbrae Collegiate Institute' sign at the front of the school was replaced with 'Robert F. Kennedy High School', which was the name of the school in the film.
