==History==
[[File:University of Toronto Schools.jpg|thumb|right|View of the school in 1920]]
University of Toronto Schools was founded in 1910 as a "practice school", also known as a [[laboratory school]], for the [[University of Toronto]]'s Faculty of Education.<ref name="Advani">Advani, ''With Pardonable Pride: The University of Toronto Schools''</ref>{{rp |35}} As originally conceived and reflected in its present name, UTS was intended to be a collection of at least two schools, one of which would enroll female students.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.utschools.ca/discoveruts/historyandtradition.aspx|title=UTS|access-date=July 14, 2015}}</ref> The original plan was to recruit 200 teachers and 1200 students, but financial constraints limited the number of students to 375 boys.<ref name="Advani"/>{{rp|35}}
The school operated a [[junior ice hockey]] team during the 1910s and 1920s in the [[Ontario Hockey Association]]. The school won the [[J. Ross Robertson Cup]] as the playoffs champions in 1919, and were finalists in 1914 and 1923.<ref>{{cite book|title=Annual Report: Constitution, Regulations and Rules of Competition|publisher=[[Ontario Hockey Association]]|date=2006|___location=Cambridge, Ontario|page=W-13}}</ref> The [[Memorial Cup]] was established as the junior hockey championship of Canada in 1919. The school defeated Montreal Melville by an 8–2 score in a single game playoff to qualify as the Eastern Canada representative at the [[1919 Memorial Cup]]. They defeated the [[Regina Pats|Regina Patricias]] in two games, by scores of 14-3 and 15–5.<ref name="Advani"/>{{rp|56}}<ref>{{cite book|last1=Lapp|first1=Richard M.|last2=Macaulay|first2=Alec|title=The Memorial Cup: Canada's National Junior Hockey Championship|publisher=[[Harbour Publishing]]|date=1997|___location=Madeira Park, British Columbia|isbn=1-55017-170-4|pages=17–18}}</ref> Memorial Cup alumnus [[Dunc Munro]] later played as a defenceman in the [[National Hockey League]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hhof.com/LegendsOfHockey/jsp/SearchPlayer.jsp?player=13799|title=Dunc Brown Munro|website=Legends of Hockey|publisher=Hockey Hall of Fame|access-date=February 8, 2021}}</ref>
UTS's first headmaster was H. J. "Bull" Crawford, who also taught Classics at the school.<ref name="Advani"/>{{rp|70}} Crawford was responsible for most administrative tasks, which, until a secretary was hired in 1921, included signing admit slips.<ref name="Advani"/>{{rp|70}} In 1925, [[Mike Rodden]] coached the UTS Rugby team to an undefeated season, culminating in the Canadian Interscholastic Championship.<ref name="Advani"/>{{rp|56}}
In 1934, A.C. Lewis succeeded John Althouse to become the third headmaster.<ref name="Advani"/>{{rp|71}} In 1944, W. B. "Brock" MacMurray, a 1924 graduate of the school, became the fourth headmaster; his 28-year term at UTS remains the longest in school history.<ref name="Advani"/>{{rp|39}} In 1957, the House System was established, with three of four houses named after the school's first three headmasters - Crawford, Althouse, and Lewis. The fourth house, Cody, was named after a former president of the University of Toronto.
The 1960s were a "turbulent" decade in the history of UTS.<ref name="Advani"/>{{rp|34}} Prior to the 1960s, the Ontario Ministry of Education required seniors to complete a number of [[matriculation]] exams in order to graduate. The student who scored highest on the province-wide exams would be awarded the Prince of Wales Scholarship; during the matriculation era, UTS students won thirteen Prince of Wales Scholarships.<ref name="Advani"/>{{rp|37}}
Although matriculation exams would eventually be abolished in the 1960s, UTS students had been calling for change since the late 1930s in the form of valedictory addresses and protests. Addresses in 1963 and 1966 targeted the tendency for matriculations to reduce "a tangible desire for knowledge", producing instead "a mind that cannot think for itself".<ref name="Advani"/>{{rp|44}} In 1967 the [[Valedictorian|valedictory address]] lambasted a number of teachers and administrators who had been responsible for rigidly holding UTS to its past.<ref name="Advani"/>{{rp|40}} The speech was not published in ''The Twig'' the following year, but was still circulated among students.<ref name="Advani"/>{{rp|40}} Discontent with the school's inability to reform climaxed in the "Protest for Nothing" in May 1969, which was led by Brian Blugerman, Michael Eccles, Paul Eprile and David Glennie.<ref>The Toronto Daily Star, Monday May 5, 1969, front page, "The Latest in Protests - A Sit-in For Nothing"; New York Times, Tuesday May 6, 1969, p.32.</ref> Unlike most protests, the placards that the protesters held were blank; when headmaster MacMurray asked for their demands, a student famously showed him a [[Blank piece of paper (protest tactic)|blank sheet of paper]] and stated, "This is a list of our demands." The protest was front-page news in Toronto newspapers and was widely reported in the U.S. media, including the New York Times.
At the turn of the decade, UTS developed a "New Program", which focused on completing subjects ("units") for graduation instead of matriculations.<ref name="Advani"/>{{rp|43}} The administration also agreed to allow students to complete their secondary school requirements in 4 years instead of 5,<ref name="Advani"/>{{rp|43}} an advantage that was enjoyed until the 2003 [[Double cohort#Secondary school reforms and the "double cohort"|double cohort]]. The Executive Council was formed in 1968 to provide a liaison between students and staff. Some of the Executive Council's first recommendations were implemented in 1969, including making Latin optional after grade 11 and introducing non-numerical grades for Arts and Music courses.<ref name="Advani"/>{{rp|43}} In addition to academics, certain aspects of the school's extracurricular traditions were gradually being phased out. In 1966, participation in the Cadet Corps, which had been a bastion of UTS tradition, became optional; in 1972, the "new administration" announced that the cadet corps would be discontinued.<ref name="Advani"/>{{rp|42}} Instead, it became an "open" corps, severing its affiliation with the school, and continues to this day.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.armycadethistory.com/Cadet%20Corps%20DB/db_cc_337.htm|title=Army Cadet History|access-date=2019-11-07}}</ref> Change was also evident in the school's teaching staff: in the 1960s alone, 35 new teachers were hired, compared to only 15 hirings during the 1950s.<ref name="Advani"/>{{rp|79}}
Donald Gutteridge had originally arrived in 1962 at MacMurray's request, and had taught Grade 13 English. In 1972, Gutteridge succeeded MacMurray.<ref name="Advani"/>{{rp|64}} Although he was the school's fifth headmaster, he was the first to call himself a "principal".<ref name="Advani"/>{{rp|65}} During his tenure as the premier of Ontario, [[Bill Davis]] came under fire for publicly funding UTS, which Liberal education critic Tom Reed called an "elitist" institution. Under pressure from the provincial government and the University of Toronto, a decision was made to admit girls into the school.<ref name="Advani"/>{{rp|64}} Two proposals were tabled: the first involved expanding the school by maintaining the same number of incoming boys, and the second involved maintaining the class size by reducing the number of incoming boys.<ref name="Advani"/>{{rp|65}} On January 18, 1973, the University of Toronto approved the second proposal, paving the way for a co-educational UTS the following academic year.<ref name="Advani"/>{{rp|66}}The first two co-educational cohorts totalled 70 students; each cohort was divided into two classes of 35 students.<ref name="Advani"/>{{rp|61}} In spite of initial concerns about the watered-down quality of UTS boys athletics, the junior girls basketball team won a city title in 1978.<ref name="Advani"/>{{rp|66}} In order to assist families in financial need, the UTS Endowment Fund was set up in 1980; in 1989, approximately $50,000 was distributed to students in need.<ref name="Advani"/>{{rp|27}}
In April 1993, the [[New Democratic Party|New Democratic]] government of Ontario announced the withdrawal of public funding from the school, leading to a dramatic rise in tuition costs, and prompting the mobilization of all its constituencies to make up the loss.
In 2004, UTS became an ancillary unit of the [[University of Toronto]] separate from the [[Ontario Institute for Studies in Education]]. The school formed its own board of directors representing alumni, parents and the university administration. Throughout the 2009–2010 school year, the school celebrated its centennial year with the Kickoff celebration at [[Varsity Stadium]] and the Homecoming weekend to be held in the school itself. The centennial year also saw the introduction of its new school song, written by Nathalie Siah '10, the House Centennial spirit pennant, as well as the House Cup, awarding the House who collected the most points (athletic, literary, and spirit) over the school year.
In 2015, Anand Mahadevan, a teacher at University of Toronto Schools, was the recipient of the Prime Minister's Awards for Teaching Excellence.<ref>{{cite web | title = Anand Mahadevan | publisher = Government of Canada | date = May 12, 2016 | url = https://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/pmate-ppmee.nsf/eng/wz02180.html}}</ref> In 2023,

===Relocation and redevelopment===
[[File:UTS (10).jpg|thumb|The southeast corner in 2022]]
The University of Toronto informed UTS in 2011 that it was rejecting its proposal for a $48 million refurbishment of its facilities and that the university intended to reclaim the property at 371 Bloor Street West for its own use. UTS had been given until 2021 to find and move to new space.<ref>{{cite news|title=University of Toronto gives eviction notice to school for the gifted|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/toronto/university-of-toronto-gives-eviction-notice-to-school-for-the-gifted/article577918/|access-date=October 4, 2014|work=Globe and Mail|date=April 28, 2011}}</ref> However, in 2014, it was announced by the chair of the UTS board of directors that the University of Toronto and UTS were negotiating to maintain an affiliation between the two institutions and keep the school at its present ___location but redevelop the site so that it could meet the needs of both the university and the school.<ref>{{cite news|title=Toronto high school optimistic it will stay in century-old building|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/toronto/toronto-high-school-optimistic-it-will-stay-in-century-old-building/article19384001/|access-date=December 30, 2014|work=Globe and Mail|date=June 27, 2014}}</ref>
In December 2015, the University of Toronto and UTS announced a 50-year agreement that would renew the school's official affiliation with the university, allow UTS to remain on its Bloor Street campus, redevelop 60,000 square feet of its space as well as build a 60,000 square foot addition. The redevelopment proposal included the construction of a 700-seat auditorium that functions as a university classroom, as well as a double gym, a light-filled atrium and a black box theatre. The university retained ownership of the building and land but UTS paid for construction and operating costs. The agreement was subject to approval by the university's governing council.<ref>{{cite news|title=U of T deal allows on-campus private school to stay put and grow out|url=https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2015/10/26/u-of-t-deal-allows-on-campus-private-school-to-stay-put-and-grow-out.html|access-date=October 30, 2015|work=Toronto Star|date=October 30, 2015}}</ref>
In 2017, UTS began fundraising for a redevelopment of the Bloor Street campus, under a campaign title of "Building the Future". The fundraising goal was $60 million.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://btf.utschools.ca/|title=Building the Future|last=University of Toronto Schools|date=2019|website=UTSchools}}</ref> The redevelopment includes the creation of four new science labs, a media lab, an innovation lab and stunning visual arts rooms.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://btf.utschools.ca/building/|title=The Building|last=University of Toronto Schools|website=UTSchools}}</ref> In preparation for the redevelopment, UTS was relocated to a temporary campus at 30 Humbert St. The school remained at the Humbert Street ___location until the week of April 4, 2022, when it returned to its original Bloor Street campus ___location.<ref>{{Cite web|title=March 21, 2022 UTS Building Schedule Update|url=https://us7.campaign-archive.com/?u=56aca118370a97701d62e798e&id=90055c1ccc}}</ref>
==Admissions==
Most students enter in Grade 7 through a two-stage competitive process. Prior to the admission of the class of 2014, the first stage consisted of a multiple-choice exam;<ref name="admissions">{{cite web|url=http://www.utschools.ca/admission/admissionprocess.aspx|title=UTS|access-date=July 14, 2015}}</ref> those who passed this test in the top percentiles (usually 200 students) were invited back for a second written exam and an interview.{{citation needed|date=January 2019}} However, starting with the class of 2014, the admission process consists of the [[Secondary School Admission Test]] (SSAT), and for the top 170 - 190 applicants, a second exam (focused on Math and English) and an interview with multiple staff members and UTS alumni (using an MMI format).{{citation needed|date=January 2019}} Ultimately, 96 candidates (48 boys and 48 girls) are chosen from around 350 applicants in the first-stage process each year; the typical cutoff for SSAT scores for Grade 7 entrance is in the mid to high 1900s for boys, and low 1900s for girls, depending on the applicant pool for that year.{{citation needed|date=January 2019}}
==Academics==
UTS is attended by students from grades 7 through 12, with 78 students per grade in classes graduating before 2001, 104 students per grade in classes graduating before 2009, and 110 in classes graduating thereafter.{{citation needed|date=January 2019}}
UTS has enriched courses and a specialized curriculum,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.utschools.ca/utseducation/|title=UTS|access-date=July 14, 2015}}</ref> which are designed to challenge and educate at a higher level than at most public and many independent schools. Because potential UTS candidates are required to pass a rigorous entrance examination to attend the school, its curriculum is accelerated on the assumption that its students assimilate information faster.{{citation needed|date=January 2021}} For this reason several higher-grade subjects are taught at lower grade levels. For example, Grade 10 students can take an enriched version of Ontario's Grade 11 courses in introductory physics, biology, and/or chemistry and Grade 7 students take both the Ontario grade 7 curriculum and grade 8 curriculum. As well, effort is made to enrich classes with extra material and more in-depth discussions.{{citation needed|date=January 2021}} Similarly, in some courses, Grade 8 students will take the Ontario grade 9 curriculum.
UTS offers [[Advanced Placement]] courses, but does not have an [[International Baccalaureate]] program. In addition to the [[Ontario Academic Credit|Ontario Secondary School Diploma]], graduates earn a UTS Diploma, which signifies the completion of certain specialized courses and attesting to an attainment level beyond the provincial standards.{{citation needed|date=January 2021}}
UTS's rate of student achievement is commensurate with its selective admissions policy, both in academics and in extracurricular activities. Virtually all UTS students go on to university following graduation.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.utschools.ca/utseducation/graduatedestinations.aspx|title=UTS|access-date=July 14, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150715021908/http://www.utschools.ca/utseducation/graduatedestinations.aspx|archive-date=July 15, 2015|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}</ref> The school's alumni include 22 [[Rhodes Scholar]]s <ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/excellence-under-fire/article1152699/|title=Excellence under fire|work=The Globe and Mail|date=January 24, 2009 |access-date=July 14, 2015}}</ref> and two [[Nobel Prize]] winners: chemist [[John Polanyi]] and economist [[Michael Spence]].
