Education

Like so many areas in the GTA, Vaughan has a wide variety of fine educational facilities, from elementary and secondary schools to colleges and universities. There are also a number of catholic and French language schools in the area, providing a wide variety for the families within the city. With excellent sports programs, as well a variety of art, music, and extra curricular activities for the kids to enroll in, the educational system in the city of Vaughan has something for everyone.

Vaughan also has a lot to offer those moving on to post secondary institutions. Sitting just across the Vaughan-Toronto border is York University, the third largest university in all of Canada. Boasting Ontario's second largest faculty of Graduate Studies, the largest faculty of Art in the country, and a wide range of others teaching everything from environmental studies to law, York is home to over 50,000 part time and full time students. Vaughan's close proximity to York makes it a great option for off campus students looking to stay away from the high prices of Toronto condos but remain in close proximity to their place of study.

For anyone raising families in Mississauga townhouses wanting to move a little closer to Toronto, Vaughan presents you with the best of both worlds. With dozens of elementary schools and five secondary schools, all under the supervision of the York Regional District School Board, children in Vaughan have an opportunity to follow a well regimented and carefully planned curriculum designed to give them ample opportunity to succeed in their futures. No parent wants their child driving septic trucks for a living, so it's important to ensure they have a bright future by investing in solid education, something the city of Vaughan can certainly offer. And being only 25 kilometers away from the downtown Toronto core, you won't have to sacrifice the city life for some peace and quiet.

If you're the kind of parent afraid to see your little birds fly from the nest to soon, you'll be happy to know that there is an abundant amount of colleges and universities in and around Vaughan for your budding student to attend, including the University of Toronto and the aforementioned York University. With courses spanning the curricular spectrum, there are programs and courses available for every passion, curiosity, and budget, so don't go selling that real estate in Georgetown Ontario just yet!

With one of the fastest growing populations in all of Canada, now is the time to get into Vaughan. Anyone will tell you that when a city is booming, it doesn't take long for real estate prices to skyrocket, so now just may be the time to snatch up one of those Brampton condos for sale, Mississauga, Oshawa, and Markham can say that they're the big cities around Toronto, but only one place gets to call itself the City Above Toronto; and that's Vaughan. And don't forget to bring the kids, they just might learn something!
