About Us
Epiphany of Our Lord Catholic Academy offers a Christ-centered Catholic education where faith is woven into every aspect of the curriculum. More than a place for academic learning, our school is a community that models and teaches Christian living in a safe, welcoming, and nurturing environment.
Our Core Beliefs
We believe every child deserves a safe, joyful, and productive learning experience. Physical and emotional safety—both in the classroom and on the playground—is essential. Together, students and staff foster a caring, orderly community that celebrates the dignity and value of each individual, helping children grow into compassionate and responsible citizens.
Academic Focus: Math, Science and Technology
We take pride in our emphasis on Mathematics, Science, and Technology. Carefully selected class presentations and excursions enhance this focus. Our staff actively engages in professional development to implement effective, modern teaching methods in these areas.
Supporting Diverse Student Needs
We follow the Toronto Catholic District School Board's mission to respect individual differences and responsibilities, guided by the love of God, others, and self. Teachers use differentiated instruction to meet the unique needs of each student, ensuring opportunities for personal growth and success.
Athletics, Arts and Extracurricular Activities
We nurture students beyond academics through athletics and the arts. Our programs include:
House league sports during recess
Competitive teams in track and field, cross country, soccer, volleyball, and basketball
Clubs such as Eco Club, Choir, Lego Club, and more
Annual celebrations include the Feast of the Epiphany, school Masses, Carnaval, Remembrance Day, and a 3-day outdoor education excursion for Grades 6–8.
Our dedicated staff generously volunteer their time to coach teams, lead clubs, and support student activities.
A Safe and Caring Environment
Safety is a top priority. Our Safe Arrival Program ensures student accountability through parent-school communication. We are a peanut, seafood, nut, and shellfish-aware school due to life-threatening allergies, and we ask families to avoid sending such items.
Additional safety measures include:
Two staff members with first aid training
Conflict management programs
Supervised outdoor periods from 8:40 AM to 3:30 PM
Bus supervision until 3:40 PM
A Safe School Committee with parent, staff, and student representatives
Visitors must use our secure video entrance system and sign in at the front office. The school remains locked from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM.

In September 2002, the school was renamed Epiphany of Our Lord Catholic Academy. This change marked the introduction of school uniforms and a renewed academic focus on Mathematics, Science, and Technology.
