Our School

Tapleytown Public School is located in East Hamilton on Stoney Creek Mountain.  The original one-room stone school house was built in 1881. While many one-room schools in the area were being closed, additions were added to Tapleytown in 1956, 1959, 1964 and again in 1966 to accommodate increasing enrolment.

The school is very well established and families of many generations have called Tapleytown their neighbourhood school.
Although Tapleytown still retains the atmosphere of a country school, it has also kept apace with modernization. EQAO scores tend to exceed both Board and Provincial standards.  The staff, students and parents of Tapleytown School are dedicated to academic success and care about each other.

We are committed to:

  • providing a safe and friendly place to learn and grow
    being the best that we can be
  • helping each other learn because we all learn differently
