History & Tradition

St. Paschal Baylon Catholic School opened its doors to 437 students and staff in 1961 at the Shetland Street and Moore Avenue site (since renamed St. Paschal Ct. and Moore Park Avenue). In 1966 three classrooms, a library and a gymnasium were added to the original 13 classroom building. 

The school was named after St. Paschal Baylon (1540-1592), a Spanish Franciscan monk who was characterized by his devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Holy Eucharist.  The school maintains a close connection with our Parish, St. Paschal Baylon. 

Over the years the community has evolved from being mainly Italian, to a very multicultural mix of students, with particular representation from the Philippine community.  Our supportive, cooperative and involved parent community contributes to a safe and welcoming learning environment for our students.

How We Meet the Diverse Needs of Our Students

St. Paschal Baylon Catholic School is committed to the integration of our Christian values into every aspect of school life.  There are many activities which exemplify our Catholic traditions, including monthly masses celebrated as a community, regular visits from our clergy and rosary groups, and an active daily prayer life and liturgical celebrations.  The modelling of Gospel values permeates instruction as well as discipline at St. Paschal Baylon.  

We are committed to success for all students through curriculum initiatives. 

Students’ literacy skills are developed by enhancing their reading and writing proficiency through an interdisciplinary approach. Balanced Literacy in the primary grades and Literacy in the Middle from grades four to eight continue to be our focus for language instruction.  We strive to develop students’ Mathematical literacy skills through problem solving experiences that involve the application and communication of concepts in Mathematics. 

Team teaching, rotary, Special Education services, ESL instruction, international language instruction, and our computer lab further enhance program delivery for all students.  Our students enjoy a variety of co-curricular activities and programs including athletic teams, drama and music activities, and W5H and chess clubs.

Students get hands on experience
Our intermediate division attended a 3 day Natural Science Camp at Brock University. This camp is designed to give students field experience, hands-on explorations and science experiments that teach concepts in ecology, biology, environmental science while creating an understanding of the science behind many of our global issues today. The natural backdrop setting is the beautiful Niagara Escarpment. We tested a variety of soils, we constructed a solar oven, we built and tested our own water filters, we identified rocks through mineral testing, we saw first hand how erosion formed the Niagara Escarpment, we watched a large barge from Belgium make its way through the Welland Canal and we found the Fibonacci sequence in nature. We were also graced with the presence of Sir Isaac Brock and William Lyon McKenzie. All this and more! Our students experienced the life of a university student living in residence. It was a wonderful experience.

Here we are in a university science lab                        Delicious SMORES
discovering the Fibonacci sequence before we
make our Fibonacci bead necklaces

SMORES for everyone with a little help from the sun.       We made our own solar ovens so that we could
                                                                                enjoy SMORES.

Happy campers at the Brock Natural Science Centre        The teachers had to forfeit the highropes so that all
                                                                                     the students could have a turn. We are going back!

Enjoying the campfire before the rain.                         We are checking out the owl pellets...we found rodent skulls
Nothing like a scary story.                                         and more.

St. Paschal Baylon students dance everywhere we go.
