ALPHA Open House – December 2, 2026

If you’re looking for a school where…

  • your child gets a say in what, how, and when they learn
  • your child gets individual feedback instead of grades, tests, or report cards
  • students have lots of time to play, be outdoors, and just be kids
  • kids make decisions together in meetings chaired by students themselves
  • parents and family members are welcome in the classroom
  • families, students, and staff work together in democratic community
  • and there’s a strong focus on social justice…

…then please come to our Open House to learn more about ALPHA! 

Date:  Wednesday, December 2, 2026

Time:  5:30-7:30pm

Location:  ALPHA, 20 Brant St, Toronto (King & Spadina area) 

Students will give you a tour of the building.  Teachers, parents, and students will give you a sense of what ALPHA’s alternative pedagogy looks like in practice.  You’ll get a chance to ask questions and chat with current staff and families.  And there’ll be food! 

Any questions?  Please give us a call at (416) 393-1880. 

We look forward to seeing you there!
