Helping Students Love and Play Sports...at Jarvis and for a Lifetime

As presented in the plaque that stands outside our venerable old place says, we go way back...to 1807!

In 1871 the new building opened at 361 Jarvis Street, just south of College Street, directly in front of Allan Gardens. In 1873 Parkdale Collegiate Institute, a second high school, was established in Toronto, precipitating yet another name change from Toronto High School to Jarvis Street High School. The school was given its current name, Jarvis Collegiate Institute, in 1890. In 1924 it moved to its current building at Wellesley and Jarvis Streets...and that's the place we know and love.

Jarvis Collegiate celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2007. Our group is still celebrating !
