The 2020/21 Experience at UTS: Experience Innovation
The health and safety of our students and staff is our priority. We are committed to stopping the risk of spreading COVID-19. We consult extensively with TPH to ensure safe school reopening. We will continue following safety measures already implemented at UTS into our summer programs. Some examples of safety measures currently in place at UTS are as follows:
• Students are placed in cohorts, and cohorts do not mix. Cohorts are limited to 15 to 25 students depending on grade.
• Students and staff must fill out a COVID-19 survey each day, and entry is denied to anyone who is presenting symptoms. Follow-up is done with the individual to advise on further steps as laid out by TPH.
•If a student/staff becomes symptomatic during the school day, processes are in place to isolate the person and ensure appropriate follow-up.
•Staff who are in regular contact with students must wear medical masks provided by UTS. Students wear non-medical masks. The exception is when an individual is eating or engaged in intense physical activity.
•Enhanced cleaning protocols are in place with high touch surfaces being cleaned multiple times a day, shared equipment being disinfected between each use, and all surfaces being sanitized daily.
•A School Nurse has been hired to provide guidance and feedback on safety measures.
•The Health & Safety committee and Infection Prevention and Control team at UTS advises on new safety protocols and ensures compliance.

UTS is remarkable for all kinds of reasons, including an alumni that boasts two Nobel Laureates, twenty Rhodes Scholars, eleven Olympians, and three ambassadors. In the century since it was founded, UTS weathered some interesting times, including student protests in the 1960s. (At one point a student presented the headmaster with a blank sheet of paper saying "this is a list of our demands.") For many years, the school was at the centre of the debates that would, in time, bring some important advances to public schooling in Canada, including the abolition of matriculation exams and a 4-year secondary school program. In that and in so much else, UTS has marched to the beat of its own drummer, charting an innovative path through everything it has done. That’s true of the summer programs as well. They are of a kind that only UTS could supply. The sessions are unique, and uniquely inspiring, and lead by experienced school faculty. Kids who take part will find themselves in a group of peers who share their perspectives, their curiosities, and in many cases, their academic inclinations. That’s a lot. And it’s fun, too, all taking place in the heart of the country’s most diverse metropolis, and within one of the country's foremost academic institutions.

UTS’ “Experience Innovation" programs provide a fresh approach to the March break and summer experience. They offer students and parents a unique opportunity to explore what can be accomplished in a short period of time through creative learning experiences that combine education and fun, for an innovative experience that is second to none.
Our dedicated Program Leaders and Operations team work hard to make these experiences meaningful and enjoyable for all participants. All of our programs are run by UTS teachers in collaboration with our partners, including University of Toronto faculty and staff, and not for profit community organizations such as the Firefly Foundation. These partnerships open doors for participants to stretch themselves through inspired engagement.
If you’ve participated in one of our programs in the past, we look forward to welcoming you back! If you want to experience something that will stimulate and motivate you…look no further! We look forward to having you join us.

~“I used to think that wherever I was living, I should just accept it and I never once thought that I could change my community. Now, wherever I’m walking I think about how that place can be improved.”
~“I thought our challenge would be simple to solve, but I was wrong! This is a program where we really learned to solve complex problems.”
~“Bright Lights has given me the unique experience of true scientific research, and all the challenges and responsibilities that come with it, preparing me for future scientific endeavors.”
