Williamsburg P.S. is located in north Whitby with the northern border being Taunton Rd. and the southern border being the north side of Twin Streams Road. Our community has a great deal of residential building taking place and many new families are moving into our boundary area from Toronto and the GTA, as well as other provinces and countries. Our school has a diverse population which adds to the richness of our school community. As well as a growing special education population, which allows the staff to focus on inclusiveness, differentiated instruction and equity of all. Our parent community is involved and very supportive of the school.
The Williamsburg residential neighbourhood is in west Whitby, northwest of Downtown. It features forested watershed areas and plenty of parklands and biking/walking trails, as well as tree-lined streets with mature trees. Restaurants are located along Brock St, and a shopping area is at Taunton Road and Brock Street, and the neighbourhood is also close to downtown. The east side of this area features larger homes on generous lots, many with pools. There are also some townhome complexes. To the west, homes are newer single-detached, on slightly narrower lots, as well as townhomes.
