Why be bored in school? Go to a Skateboard School! This Toronto District School Board alternative school design program helps students earn high school credits and graduate by creating their own brand and running a skateboard business / professional design studio. OASIS SKATEBOARD FACTORY (OSF) "ON THE GRIND": TDSB's ART & ENTREPRENEURSHIP O.G.s since 2006!

Reminder that OSF is now closed while teachers do Final Sem. 1 Report Cards. We will be doing a drop in Info Session for remaining Sem. 2 spaces for youth wanting to register on Wednesday at 9am.
