History & Tradition
St. Elizabeth Catholic School opened its doors to the community in 1960. Bishop Allen presided over the blessings dedication of the school to St. Elizabeth, cousin of the Virgin Mary and mother of St. John the Baptist. We celebrate her feast day on November 5th.
Our school is affiliated with Our Lady of Peace Parish. The staff continues to work closely with Pastor, Father George Galea, and the parent community to celebrate school Masses and the sacraments. Throughout the year, the dedicated staff shares the responsibility of educating our fine students in the academic subjects and in the areas of personal responsibility and respect.
How We Meet the Diverse Needs of Our Students
Our commitment is to the children and creating a truly accepting and Catholic learning environment. Our goal is to support our students as they develop their skills, talents, values and knowledge and to grow in the areas of personal responsibility and respect.
St. Elizabeth’s teaching and support staffs work cooperatively to plan for all our students. Educational Assistants team with the teachers to provide our exceptional students with support on an individual basis, in small group situations or integrated with peers.
Use of student agendas is just one vehicle for home/school communication. The school also provides a safe and welcoming environment grounded in the clearly defined Toronto Catholic District School Board Mission and Vision statements; our code of conduct with its guidelines and procedures; our dress code of navy blue and white and our safe arrival – safe schools program. Our Grade eight students’ graduate to continue their education at Michael Power/St. Joseph’s and Father John Redmond high school.
St. Elizabeth staff, community and parent volunteers involve our students in a range of co-curricular and extra curricular activities including Intermediate, Junior and Primary sports teams, Intramural teams, Chess club, Concerts, Scientist in School, Reading Buddies, Excursions, Life Skills programs, School Spirit and “Civvies” days, Fun Fair, Play Days, Math Activity days, Student Council, Choir, WH5, Food Drives, Charitable Initiatives and many more. We also have an English Second Language class and Core French in grades 1-8.
St. Elizabeth has a PLASP after-school program available. Busing is also provided for student transportation.
At St. Elizabeth’s we believe that to be successful there must be open and continual communication between home and school. We can realize this as a team, with Parish, home, community and school celebrating our growth and accomplishments together.

Olympic Spirit at St. Elizabeth
The Olympic torch came to St. Elizabeth on February 16, 2010. One of the
official Olympic torch bearers brought his torch to our school and let
us hold it. We cheered Canada on as they won medals. Our student council
organized our own winter games. The students enjoyed participating in a
variety of events in the gym and in our schoolyard.
