L'Amoreaux Collegiate Institute (or L'Am for short) is a public high school in Toronto, Ontario, Canada founded in 1973. It is located in the L'Amoreaux neighbourhood of the former suburb of Scarborough. Originally part of the Scarborough Board of Education, it is now consolidated into the Toronto District School Board. In 2020, the school had an enrolment of 439 representing 46% of its 957 total capacity.[1] The number of students at L'am for whom English is an additional language is more than double the provincial average (60% vs. 23%) as is the number of students who are new to Canada from a non-English speaking country (10% vs. 5.1%). The area feeding the school also contends with an over-representation of children from lower-income households at (30% vs ~18%).[2] Despite these challenges, 81% passed the Grade 10 literacy test on their first attempt in 2021-2022; essentially identical to the provincial average.[3] The motto of the school is "Freedom with Responsibility".
