Entrance to the IB at Monarch Park (and every TDSB school) is through the central TDSB application process.

Monarch Park will be hosting an open house for prospective students for both our mainstream as well as IB on the evening of November 18, 2025.  Our IB students are members of our Monarch Park school family and it is important that prospective families learn about the program but also about the school to make sure it is a good fit for your student.

Monarch Park accepts students in grades 9 and 10 to join our IB program.   Grade 10 entry is dependent on number of spaces available and cannot be predicted in advance.

All applications must go through the central TDSB application process.  There is no way to circumvent the system.
