All five series of the franchise are set in Toronto, with both real and fictional places in the city depicted.

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".

[9] 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.

[10] Completely renovated and changed by 2001, the Degrassi Community School features a non-traditional design scheme using new materials.

The main foyer is host to Degrassi's own motto, written larger and more distinctively than the other quotes.

The actual set for where the school scenes are shot in is a warehouse sized studio at Epitome Pictures.
