History & Tradition
St. Antoine Daniel Catholic School first opened its doors
in 1970 as St. Daniel School. It was then an eight-room open complex school with an
enrollment of 126 pupils. In the intervening years, as North York has grown into a vibrant
city, the school has kept pace with it, always mirroring the changing needs, concerns and
aspirations of the community at large. In 1988, interior walls were erected, bringing the
open-complex era to a close. In the more recent past, as information highway and the
internet became part of the lexicon, the school was quick to learn the new language and to
be part of that web. The face of the school has changed too, reflecting demographic
changes in the larger community. The staff and student body in 1995 represented no fewer
than 13 languages and ethnic origins.
In 1984 the school name was officially changed to St. Antoine Daniel to be more readily identified with its patron saint. Father Antoine Daniel, a Jesuit missionary who lived and worked among the Hurons. He became the first martyr of Huronia when the Iroquois over-ran the St. Joseph II mission at Teanaostaiae (now Hisdale in Simcoe County, Ontario).
The school has, over the years, forged strong links with the parish and the parent community. The Catholic School Advisory Council continues to be a staunch supporter and an active partner with the school in all its endeavour, from fundraising to the 25th anniversary celebration in May 1995.
How We Meet the Diverse Needs of Our Students
Our students
St. Antoine Daniel School is committed to Catholic
education. We see education as a process through which the community of the school
develops within its students a way of living which embodies the life of Jesus Christ.
We attempt to provide an environment that is safe and welcoming to both students and parents. To this end we have implemented a safe arrival program and a code of behaviour that is based on self-discipline, self-respect, respect for others and our environment.
The individual needs of our students are met in a variety of ways.
- Early intervention to assist students who require additional support
- Access to special education program
- Access to enrichment/gifted programs
- Access to programs in vocal and instrumental music
- Opportunities for students to use computers as a tool for learning
- Participation in Toronto Catholic District School Board inter-school events ie. sports, W5H, public speaking, etc.
- English as a second language program
- Regular parent/school information sessions
