Bored of Education?...

Skateboard of Education!!!

As of September 2009, Room 3 in the Scadding Court Community Centre will house the Oasis Skateboard Factory reengagement program.

As the first school site in the TDSB and the world fully dedicated to offering all subjects with a skateboard design and street art focus, the Oasis Skateboard Factory helps students earn Gr. 9-12 compulsory & elective high-school credits by running an entrepreneurial business where they learn hands-on to build skateboards, design original custom graphics, work with local artists and community collaborators, market and display their work and have the opportunity to receive an honorarium.

For more info or to apply, contact OSF Teacher Lauren Hortie.

Working with Sponsors & Clients

After creating a portfolio of their own personal designs and mastering the skills required to successfully make their own skateboards, students then look for community or local business partners to sponsor or purchase other skateboards. Students negotiate the design of a street or longboard style board with their sponsor/client and display the results at a local gallery. Students receive an honorarium for their work from the money raised and students participate in a photo opportunity with the sponsor/client when they deliver the finished deck.

Sponsors & Clients of the Oasis Skateboard Factory are supporting at-risk youth to stay in school, earn credits and develop transferable creative, employment and entrepreneurial skills.
