Don Bosco Catholic Secondary School (also called Don Bosco, Don Bosco CSS, DBCSS, Don Bosco Toronto, or simply Bosco), housed in the former Keiller Mackay Collegiate Institute building, was a Catholic secondary school in Etobicoke in the city of Toronto, Ontario, located north of the intersection of Islington Avenue and Dixon Road in the Kingsview Village neighbourhood.

The school was shut down in 2017. In August 2017, the building became the new home for the Toronto Argonauts practice facility, with a short-term lease of the facility from the Toronto Catholic District School Board.[1]

History

The school was named after Saint John Bosco since 1978. During the 2000s up to 2013, the school was known for having former Toronto mayor Rob Ford as its school coach. In 2014, Don Bosco adopted a Self-Directed Learning program, similar to that of Mary Ward Catholic Secondary School in Scarborough, becoming only the second such school in the GTA and third in Ontario to do so. The school subsequently disbanded this method and returned to the regular class system.
