The Island Public/Natural Science School dates back to 1888. It is located a short ferry ride from the city on the Toronto Islands at Hanlan's Point.

• Four programs are run from the school: a public school day program that services the Island and Harbourfront community, a residential science program for 68 students in Grades 5 and 6, Gibralter Point Day Nursery (school-aged daycare) and a Parenting Centre for pre-school children and their parents.
• Students attending the science program are from city schools and spend one week at the Island School, living in dorms studying natural science and outdoor education. Day students, Grade JK - 6 (enrolment of around 180) are transported to the school by ferry and school bus.
• Our new building is a state-of-the-art facility with an environmental focus. The building includes a general purpose room, library/resource centre, science labs, and greenhouse. Our school is equipped with a grey water system, solar panels, and photovoltaic panels.
