It is located in the Eatonville neighbourhood of the former suburb of Etobicoke. It has operated since 1956, currently by the Toronto District School Board, originally part of the Etobicoke Board of Education. It offers credit courses to adult learners (21 and over) and to young adults (18-20).^[1] The motto for Burnhamthorpe is Quisque Praestet Officium which translates to "No matter whose attention offers".

History

The school was constructed in 1955 and opened on September 4, 1956 to students. The original street address was 76 Keane Avenue. The building was designed by architects Shore and Moffat. Burnhamthorpe was officially opened on November 9, 1956.
