A Tradition of Excellence in Catholic Education
Our Commitment to You
Catholic School education is intended to make
faith become living, conscious, and active,
through the light of instruction.
The Catholic school is the unique setting
within which this ideal can be realized
in the lives of Catholic children and young people.
Only in such a school can they experience
learning and living, fully integrated in the light of faith.
STRATEGIC SYSTEM PLAN 2010-2015
The Mission of the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board,
in partnership with the family and church, is to provide, in a
responsible manner, a Catholic education which develops
spiritual, intellectual, aesthetic, emotional, social, and physical
capabilities of each individual to live fully today and to meet
the challenges of the future, thus enriching the community.
