WHAT IS TASS?

Towards Ahimsa Secondary School (TASS) is a private school that offers Ontario high school credits through a Jain perspective, allowing students to work toward their Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) while embracing Jain values of non-violence, ethical living, and thoughtful inquiry.

Our Ontario Certified Teachers integrate Jain philosophy into daily life,

making it relevant and applicable for youth.

TASS classes run synchronously online on Sundays evenings and Wednesdays late afternoons,

with in-person field trips and workshops enhancing the learning experience.

We are awaiting final approval from the Ministry of Education.

TASS is scheduled to offer classes in September 2025.

Registration is now OPEN for the 2025-2026 school year.

CULTIVATING COMPASSION, INSPIRING WISDOM

WHY TASS?

Jain principles and philosophy guide people on how to live a non-violent, truthful, environmentally conscious, and ethical life.

At TASS, these principles are woven into every subject, helping students appreciate their relevance and application in daily life. TASS students build friendships, foster community, apply Jain principles and earn credits toward their Ontario Secondary School Diploma.

Course are developed and taught by Ontario Certified Teachers. TASS teaches the Ministry

of Education curriculum through a Jain lens.
