History

The Beginning

Established in 1910, Brown School has continued to provide outstanding support for our students and community. The school was named after Charles Albert Beaumont Brown, a veteran member of the Toronto Board of Education from 1882-1920.

Over 70,000 students have passed through the doors of the school during these ten decades. We pride ourselves on strong academic achievement founded on our relationships with our families through Daycare as well as Parks and Recreation. Our staff commitment includes considerable involvement in an extraordinary number of extra-curricular activities.
