Special education
Nelson A. Boylen has a considerable percentage of handicapped students. As an effort to ensure the success of all students, the school has a Multiple Exceptionality program to help those that are struggling in school because of a mental and/or physical handicap.;
ESL/ELD
Because the student body is so ethnically diverse, many students require English as a Second Language (ESL)/English Literacy Development (ELD) training to enhance classroom efficiency. The ESL/ELD program at Nelson A. Boylen is considered[by whom?] one of the strongest in the TDSB.
International studies
Nelson A. Boylen is one of very few TDSB secondary schools that offer the International Studies program. Since the student body represents countries from all around the world, school administrators felt that this type of program would represent the school well. The program attracts hopeful students from across the TDSB, and has a strong focus on business, science, and technology, three fields in which there are many job opportunities. Students who enroll are offered enriched opportunities such as participation in the I.S. Student Association, enriched co-curricular activities, international co-op/visits, and education travel. In order to successfully complete the program, students are required to take two to three I.S. credits per year, complete at least three modern language courses, participate in at least two enriched co-curricular activities yearly, and complete a minimum of 10 I.S. credits by graduation. Upon successful completion of the program, students will receive a special International Studies certificate, as well as the standard Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). It is the hope of Nelson A. Boylen Collegiate Institute and the International Studies program[citation needed] that all graduating I.S. students will be well-prepared for life in the 21st century.
Co-curricular activities
Nelson A. Boylen continuously encourages students to actively participate in school life. The school doesn't have many sports teams or clubs as can be found in the larger schools.
