Sacred Heart Catholic School is a welcoming Catholic learning community located in northeast Scarborough near McLevin Avenue and Neilson Road. Serving students from Kindergarten to Grade 8, we are committed to nurturing the academic, spiritual, social, and emotional growth of every child.

We believe in the uniqueness of each student and strive to help all learners reach their full potential while growing in Christian values, self-esteem, and respect for themselves and others.

Sacred Heart is a proud member of St. Barnabas Parish, and our strong partnership with the parish community enriches the faith life of our students.

Religious Education is taught from Kindergarten through Grade 8, and students participate in a variety of faith formation opportunities, including:

• Daily prayer and religious instruction

• School liturgies and celebrations

• Preparation for the Sacraments of First Reconciliation, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation

• Grade 7 and 8 retreats

• Charitable initiatives

Students actively live their faith through participation in food drives, the ShareLife campaign, and outreach efforts that support families both locally and globally.

Creating a safe and welcoming environment is a priority at Sacred Heart Catholic School.

We work closely with families to ensure the health, safety, and success of all students through:

• Daily attendance monitoring and safe arrival procedures

• Ongoing communication between home and school

• Support for students' health and wellness needs

• Clear expectations for positive behaviour

Student expectations are reinforced through classroom discussions, assemblies, newsletters, and regular school communications. Our practices align with Toronto Catholic District School Board policies that promote respect, inclusion, and violence prevention.

Sacred Heart is committed to providing high-quality learning experiences that meet the needs of all students.

Teachers support student success through:

• Strong literacy and numeracy instruction

• Ongoing program review and improvement

• Technology-integrated learning

• Differentiated instruction and program modifications

• Collaboration with support staff and resource professionals

• Special education services for students requiring additional support

We continue to enhance technology and digital literacy through staff learning, updated resources, and increased opportunities for students to develop computer skills.

A wide range of extracurricular and co-curricular activities helps students develop new interests, talents, and leadership skills. Opportunities may include:

Educational field trips and excursions further enrich classroom learning and provide valuable real-world experiences.

Sacred Heart Catholic School opened in September 1987 and was founded on devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a symbol of Christ's love and compassion for all people.

The school experienced significant growth during its early years as surrounding neighbourhoods expanded, eventually serving more than 700 students. While enrolment later stabilized following the opening of nearby schools, Sacred Heart has remained a vibrant and welcoming community.

Today, our school reflects the rich cultural diversity of families from around the world. United by our Catholic faith, we celebrate the many experiences and traditions that strengthen our community and enrich student learning.
