School-specific context
Captain Michael VandenBos Public School is a dual-track elementary school on Country Lane in Whitby, offering English and French immersion programs. It opened in January 2001 and serves kindergarten through Grade 8. A family comparing new homes should check both the home’s designated school and the entry requirements for the intended language stream.
Two language streams
The school explicitly identifies English and French immersion programs. French immersion in an English-language board is different from a French-language school operated by Conseil scolaire Viamonde.
A local namesake
The school is named for Whitby native Captain Michael VandenBos, a member of Canada’s Snowbirds. The official About page explains the connection and the school’s history.
BEFORE YOU CHOOSE A HOME
Check the address.
Confirm the program.
A nearby home or a shared municipality does not guarantee a place. Ask the board about attendance boundaries and the school about any separate entry requirements.
