About Us
We at St Cecilia School endeavour to promote a welcoming community based on trust and mutual respect, where all individuals feel that they are valued and belong. We develop our spirituality through prayer, reflection and celebration whilst living out our faith. We encourage students to open their hearts to God, their minds to learning, and their talents to service. As a community of learners, we strive for excellence, unlocking the full potential of each individual, leading to their development into confident and independent learners who value and live their faith. As we journey together with Christ, we seek to engender the joy and wonder of learning through celebrating God's love in our lives and by encouraging within each child a love for learning and a desire to do one’s best.
St Cecilia is growing by leaps and bounds! We are located in the Junction on the edge of Bloor West Village. We pride ourselves in being a neighborhood school where parents have a choice between two dynamic programs: English and French Immersion. We have two big playgrounds, one known as the “castle” where families gather after school. The original 1914 part of the school has big classrooms, high ceilings, original wood wainscoting and brand new windows! Our newly painted gym and front stairway mural are indicative of the pride and care we take of the school and each other.
Our ‘Me to We’ initiative supports the gospel example of doing for others and the Three Cs: compassion, courage and commitment to community. We continue to raise funds for the building of a school in Sierra Leone in Africa, participate in Sharelife, collect food for the needy and contribute to the St. Vincent de Paul society during Advent. Ubi Caritas et amor, Deus ibi est – Where there is charity and love, God is there.
All of the above initiatives tie into our safe school commitment to providing students with a safe, inclusive and healthy school environment. Our code of behaviour emphasizes mutual respect, conflict resolution and self-discipline. Long ago, our patron Saint Cecilia spent her short life as a dedicated follower of Jesus and displayed the qualities of leadership, courage, integrity and gentleness. At St. Cecilia today, these characteristics are encouraged through the way we speak to one another and through are actions. The legacy of the past empowers us to make the most of today’s opportunities.
