St. Joseph School houses approximately 180 students. This school is a community based school that works closely with the Church and Parent Community. Our students come from all walks of life. Because St. Joseph offers programs in Learning Disabilities, Multiple Exceptionalities and Language Instruction, many of the students in these programs are bused to the school from surrounding communities. St. Joseph School also has 8 regular classes including two all day kindergarten classes. In addition, we have 1 Special Education class to service students with special needs. Vocal music is offered to students from J.K. to grade 5 and instrumental music is offered to students in grades 6-8.
South Riverdale is the southern half of the Riverdale neighbourhood and comprises many smaller neighbourhoods, including Leslieville, the Port Lands, Studio District, Riverside, East Toronto Chinatown, and the Gerrard India Bazaar. The area is a mixed income and multicultural neighbourhood currently experiencing a trend of gentrification along Queen St. East and Broadview Ave. It is known for its many historic buildings and rich cultural heritage. In the southern part of South Riverdale, industrial warehouses along Lakeshore Avenue house production studios, and many people working in film and television live in the old Victorians found along the area's side streets.
