History & Tradition
Francis Libermann Catholic Secondary School has developed a rich
history in its relatively young life. Founded in 1977 by Father John Geary, and staffed by
a small group of dedicated professionals, the school at once established itself as a model
of academic excellence and faith experience.
The school's motto, “Inter Mutanda Constantia”--steadfastness in the midst of change--has indeed proven to be the guiding principle of Francis Libermann Catholic High School. We have maintained a traditional, non-semestered, coeducational school which holds in high regard both academic excellence and Gospel values.
The emphasis on community and faith experience has led to the foundation of some highly regarded traditions from our retreat program to a wide variety of support to charities. Students are encouraged, and given the opportunity to live out Gospel values within their community as well. Ours is a rich, diverse and multi-ethnic population whose members see daily the true value of those blessings. Our sense of community has also been fostered by the very practical common lunch, where students and teachers are able to interact without being hampered by mismatched schedules. That community spirit has remained intact because the population of Libermann has been kept small and close.
How We Meet the Diverse Needs of Our Students
Our school is proud to provide a positive learning
environment for all students. Equity is part of our Mission statement and we deal with
this issue on many levels. Our grade 9 program allows for individual modifications with
support from the special education, student services and English as a second language
departments. These programs are available to students at all grade levels. Our special
education program received a citation for exemplary practice on the integration of
students with special needs.
Within our community we are proud of our multicultural student body and celebrate these gifts through international night and our international students' association.
Libermann has won three TCDSB Exemplary Awards: Grade 10 Canadian History Fair, Grade 11 Physical and Health Education Leadership Course, and most recently our Medieval Fair project.
Libermann works in conjunction with the Hospital for Sick Children in presenting the PHAST PACES reading program.
In addition to the secondary school, Libermann is the site for one of the TCDSB's three congregated gifted programmes for grade 7 and 8 elementary students.

Francis Libermann Receives Generous Donation
of School Cross
Our prayers have been answered! We are very pleased and blessed
to be the recipient of a very generous donation of a beautiful
stainless steel 6 foot cross. This was facilitated by our SQS,
Dante Iafrate and donated by Nick Galati from Galati Contracting
Limited. The Facilities Department lovingly restored the cross and
installed it in our foyer last week. Staff, students and parents
have nothing but thanks and praise for all who were involved. May
God Bless all of you.
