No, you do not have to be baptized Catholic to apply to a TCDSB secondary school. The only stipulation is that all secondary school students are required to take a compulsory religion credit course each year.
Your chances of placement increase by applying to your neighbourhood secondary school.
Applications to this specialty program are handled directly through St. John Paul II, St. Mary Academy and Michael Power/St. Joseph high schools. Please contact the respective schools or visit the school website for information regarding necessary criteria and deadlines for applying.
Non-TCDSB students wanting to apply to a TCDSB secondary school may only apply to one (1) secondary school.
