The Conseil des écoles françaises de la communauté urbaine de Toronto, commonly known as CÉFCUT (English: Metropolitan Toronto French School Board), is a former public secularFrenchfirst language school district. The school board was established in 1988 to manage secular French first language schools in Metropolitan Toronto. It operated until 1998, when CÉFCUT was formally merged with other secular French school boards in the Ontario Peninsula, creating Conseil scolaire Viamonde.
Public separate French schools in Toronto were not managed by CÉFCUT, but Les Conseil des écoles catholiques du Grand Toronto, a board managed by the Metropolitan Separate School Board (MSSB). MSSB controlled the separate French school board until 1998, when the MSSB was reorganized, and its English and French components were split into separate school boards. Separate French first language schools in Toronto are presently managed by the Conseil scolaire catholique MonAvenir.

"Le Conseil des écoles françaises de la communauté urbaine de Toronto (CEFCUT), le 1er décembre 1988, s'établit dans un climat beaucoup moins acrimonieux qu'à Ottawa-Carleton. Jusqu'en 1987, les conseils scolaires de Toronto, North York et Scarborough ainsi que leurs CCLF gèrent les classes et les écoles de langue française qui accueillent près de 1700 élèves. En janvier 1987, le ministre de l'Éducation Sean Conway crée un comité de travail de portée générale afin de planifier la mise en train du CEFCUT. En février 1988, le comité présente son rapport final unanime au nouveau conseil scolaire."
