The '''University of Toronto Schools''' is a [[secondary school]] runjointly founded by the province of [[Ontario]] and the [[University of Toronto]] in 1910 as a laboratory school byof the Faculty of Education. UTS remained a part of the Faculty of Education and its successor the [[Ontario Institute for Studies in Education]] at [[the University of Toronto]]. Entrance(OISE/UT) isuntil bythe competitivebeginning of 2004, when an agreement signed with the University established the school as an independent ancillary corporation within the University examinationcommonwealth.

As originally conceived, the University of Toronto Schools was to be a collection of several schools, at least one of which was to be for females, located on the university campus. Due to a shortage of funds, however, only one school accomodating boys only was built. In 1973, realizing that the rest of the vision would never materialize, a decision was made to admit girls into the school. This represented a key turning point in the school's history.

In April of [[1993]], the [[NDP]] Government of Ontario announced the withdrawal of public funding from the school, prompting the mobilization of all its constituencies to make up the loss.

Entrance is by competitive examination.
