The Metropolitan Toronto School for the Deaf is a division of the public school, Davisville Junior Public School / Metropolitan Toronto School for the Deaf, in Toronto, Ontario with day programs serving deaf and hard-of-hearing students from kindergarten to grade eight. In this division, American Sign Language and Spoken English with the aid of Signed Exact English are used as the languages of communication.[1]

In 1962, the Toronto District School Board moved both schools, The Metropolitan Toronto School for the Deaf and Davisville Junior Public School, into one school building. Until 2002, both schools were operated separately.[2] During the 2009-10 school year, eight students were enrolled in the division.[3]
