Centennial was established in 1966 and primarily serves the eastern portion of the Greater Toronto Area through five campuses and seven satellite locations. The college is best known for its record of exemplary teaching, innovative programming and extensive partnership building. It's mission is to educate students for career success. They make every decision to support the career and personal development of their learners.
