Our Visual Arts Enriched Program is open to O’Neill area students who will be attending OCVI for their Grade 9 year, and have a keen interest in studying the Visual Arts.

To apply for our Enriched Visual Arts Program starting in grade 9, you must:

• be attending O’Neill starting in grade 9 

• be currently enrolled at one of our Family of Schools and be in our catchment area (Beau Valley, Coronation, Dr. S.J. Phillips, Sunset Heights, Hillsdale, Kedron, Northern Dancer, Mary Street and Queen Elizabeth Public Schools). 

Please note that some students attending these schools may be attending a high school other than O'Neill in their grade 9 year as a few of our feeder schools are split between us and another high school. 

• or be moving into the O'Neill catchment area and will be registered at O'Neill for your grade 9 year. You will be required to show proof of address. 

Please use the Find My School tool provided on the DDSB website to confirm O'Neill as your home high school before applying to our visual arts program: https://www.ddsb.ca/en/our-schools/find-a-school.aspx 

The O’Neill Enriched Art program is not just for students who plan to have a career in Art related fields. We invite all students who have an interest and passion in the Arts to apply for an opportunity to experience the benefits of an Arts education. Studies in Art foster creative thinking and problem solving skills, self-expression and confidence while teaching a respect for the ideas of others and yourself. Many of our students also find being a part of our Art Program helps to create a balance within their busy high school years. 

All students must apply for entrance in to our Enriched Art Program. This program allows you access to our enriched level courses, and gives you the opportunity to enroll in two visual art classes each grade year.
