Humber Summit Middle School is located near Finch and Islington. It draws students from a large attendance area, reaching from near Islington and Steeles to Weston and Wilson. The 540 students Humber Summit serves represent diverse cultural, racial, and faith backgrounds. Our vision is based on three priorities: Student Achievement, Parent and Community Engagement and Financial Stability. We will use the School Effectiveness Framework as a tool to develop, implement and monitor our progress, based on an analysis of data (EQAO, CASI, DRA and Math Assessment). By using this framework we will be able to implement a more strategic approach, an intentional allocation of resources and equity of outcome for all students.
Partnerships at Work
To build a safe learning environment for all students we have engaged in a partnership with Osgoode Hall Law students who are providing peer mediation training to grade 8 students. We will be having assemblies that focus on the issues of Adolescent Development, Cyberbullying and Bullying with performances from Miche Mee, Earl LaPierre, Toronto Police Services,Quincy Mac and MADD. These partnerships, enable us to build capacity in students to make positive choices.
