Dewson Street Junior Public School is a public elementary school in Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada. It is part of the Toronto District School Board. It is located on the northwest corner of Ossington Avenue and College Street.

History

The school was first built in 1884 with an enrolment of 76 students. The original building consisted of a basement and four rooms on two floors. It was built on land which was formerly part of the Village of Dovercourt that annexed to the City in 1910. In 1965, the Board of Education decided to replace the old building which, after a series of additions, consisted of 23 classrooms, 4 kindergartens, playrooms and offices. In September 1968 a new three-storey school building was constructed. A new playground opened in the fall of 2002.
