Principal's Message

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year at DDSB@Home, a synchronous real-time online school that serves students from Grades 4 to 10.  My name is Mr. Hoi Leung, and I am very honoured to have the privilege of being your Principal.  At DDSB@Home, we have over 300 students from across the Durham District School Board Region.  Our exceptional team of educators represent schools from across the DDSB region.  DDSB@Home provides all the resources needed by students in support of their well-being and academic achievement including Administrative Support, Guidance Counsellors, Academic Resource, and Student Success, along with various leadership opportunities.  While DDSB@Home may not have four walls and a roof like a typical school, our virtual door is always open to our school community.  Our dynamic team of educators look forward to providing a collaborative, creative and engaging virtual learning experience for the 2024-2025 school year.
