How We Meet the Diverse Needs of Our Students

At St. Kateri Tekakwitha, we focus on creating and maintaining a Catholic learning environment where students are inspired to learn and develop their natural skills. While the teaching of the formal religious education program at all grade levels is central to this process, the creation of a Catholic environment is much more than this. Our attitudes and interactions with others are predicated on each individual's infinite value in the sight of God. Therefore dignity and respect for others are the hallmarks of our interactions.

Our school community is made aware of the Gospel message in many different ways. Formal and informal prayer are integral parts of school life whether in the classroom, before meetings or in our liturgical and paraliturgical celebrations either in the church or in the school. Displays within the school, the tone of assemblies, our involvement in charitable endeavours, our emphasis on the importance of being models of peacemakers, all challenge us as a community to develop and model these Catholic value. In addition, children are involved in monthly rosary prayer sessions through The Rosary Apostolates.

We strive to meet the needs of our students in a variety of ways. We are connected with our local church, Epiphany of Our Lord Catholic Church. We encourage parent involvement in the education of their children either through volunteering or through our Catholic School Parent Council (CSPC). 

St. Kateri Tekakwitha C.S. has beautiful school grounds which backs onto Van Horne Park. In our community we take advantage of the resources that are located close to us such as; Pleasantview Library, Pleasantview Community Centre skating rink. There are many parks in the area which provide a wonderful nature exploration. We provide a safe and welcoming environment throughout our community. .

We are proud to say that St. Kateri Tekakwitha Catholic School is truly a community school. We strive for excellence through programming, through connections with our parent community and local church and through partnerships with local community organizations.
