Sitting in class isn’t for everyone. If you’re an unconventional thinker looking for an unconventional school experience, Oasis Skateboard Factory might be for you.

Our students have a variety of goals: credit accumulation; becoming ready to take the next step into the world of work and active citizenship; earning a high school diploma; or transitioning to post-secondary education. We welcome eligible students from across Toronto throughout the academic year.
