Deutsche Schule Toronto is a charitable organization based in Etobicoke, Ontario, classified by the CRA under teaching institutions.

In its fiscal year ending August 31, 2024, it reported $1.8M in revenue and $2.1M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
