Degrassi Community School
''Degrassi Community School'' is a fictional high school in ''
Degrassi: The Next Generation'' and the titular academy primarily associated with it. It consists of students from grade 7 through grade 12 and its student body is made up of many cultures and backgrounds, paralleling and reflecting the multiculturalism associated with Toronto. The school originally was a junior high, housing grades 7–8. In season two, the school took on high school students after the neighboring high school shut down (mainly so that the characters could all attend the same school) and housed grades 7–12 for four years before dropping grades 7-8 and becoming a high school. However, this is not a real school; the set is a warehouse sized studio made to look like one at Epitome's studios. After season 4, there have been no characters on the show, minor or major, in grades 7 or 8. In season 10 a

''. In 1989, it combined with a high school, and became Degrassi High. The school was remodeled and renamed to "Degrassi Community School" for the school year starting in September 2001, and played host to the 1991 Ten Year High School Reunion shortly thereafter.
In 2001, the school held its first nighttime dance entitled "Starlight, Starbright".
At the start of season 7, Degrassi Community School merged with rival school, Lakehurst High School, causing much friction between both schools, much of which had to do with the recent death of Degrassi student
J.T. Yorke. The rivalry resulted in many fights and hatred between the students.
Academics
=Media Immersion Program

One of the most distinctive programs featured in the Degrassi Community School, is its Media Immersion Program (taught by Mr. Simpson up to season 9 and Mrs Oh until Season 14, it is held in the computer lab). The program features high speed computers with internet access (via

as of 2001) and other educational programs. It also features the most up to date media software programs, all part of the new renovation planned by Mr. Raditch, "proudly bringing Degrassi to the 21st Century".
The computer lab uses a network, notably using a system called "D-Mail", where students may instant message each other, and send e-mails.
Eighteen new computers were provided by the television program NaK, News About Kids, in exchange for showing their morning broadcasts. Though biased and a source for propaganda which also promotes certain commercial products, the NaK broadcasts were consented to be shown by a vote of parents of the Degrassi students.

Layout
Completely renovated and changed by 2001, the Degrassi Community School features untraditional design schemes using new materials. Named a Community School, Degrassi does not follow the typical public school layout but closer to being identified as an alternative school. By 2002, the school had yet again been completely changed and reinvented as it underwent a merge to become both a Junior High School and High School.
There are multiple unique aspects of the Degrassi school. In the spacious front lobby, a mural outlooks the front steps, one later redrawn by Jimmy Brooks. Written primarily at the top of the walls above the locker/hallway areas, there are a number of inspirational quotes employed. The main foyer is host to Degrassi's own motto, written larger and bolder than the other quotes.
After J.T. dies in season six, a memorial garden at the school is built in his name.
The school was once again renovated sometime during the summer of 2015. The school interior received a new paint job while the lockers were painted to feature a more retro look. All wooden classroom doors were also replaced with new grey doors. Several classrooms are also now equipped with smart-boards and HD television sets for a more digital learning environment. Also included in the redesign were new desks. New areas in the school include a lounge room for students, several sitting areas with cushioned chairs laid around the school, and a renovated classroom for a new course titled ''Digital Arts''.
The actual set for where the school scenes are shot in is a warehouse sized studio at

Outfitted to look like an actual school, the set features perhaps the most intricate and detailed designs, including numerous fliers, bulletins, and posters pertaining to the fictional Degrassi Community School. The studio is also used for filming the other sets, such as character's bedrooms, in the series.

Degrassi Fan Pages FAQ
", ''Degrassi.tv''. Subheading: Where/ how is Degrassi filmed?, "The show is mainly filmed in the Epitome Pictures studios, a former warehouse that has been converted to look like a real school. The studio also houses the interiors of some of the characters' homes, and a mall food-court area. As a result, the majority of Degrassi is filmed inside one large studio. However, we do occasionally take the production "on location" to various places around Toronto that are impossible to re-create in a studio."
