About Us
At St. Aidan Catholic School, we are proud of the strong partnership between home, school, and parish. Serving students from Kindergarten to Grade 8, we are fortunate to be located next to St. Aidan Catholic Church, where students and staff gather regularly to celebrate Mass and grow in their faith.
We proudly serve a diverse community and warmly welcome families who are new to both the neighbourhood and Canada. The school is home to the St. Aidan Early Years Learning and Child Care Centre for children from 12 months to 4 years of age, as well as an EarlyON Child and Family Centre that supports children from birth to age 4 and their parents and caregivers.
Open communication between home and school is a priority. Student agendas, email updates, newsletters, calendars, and other digital communication tools help keep families informed about classroom learning, school events, assignments, and important dates.
Our School History and Tradition
St. Aidan Catholic School opened in 1973 and is part of the Toronto Catholic District School Board.
Our school is named after St. Aidan of Lindisfarne, a 7th-century Irish monk, missionary, and bishop renowned for his deep faith, humility, compassion, and dedication to education. Sent from the monastery on the island of Iona to the Kingdom of Northumbria, he established his bishopric at Lindisfarne, where he founded a monastery that became an important centre of Christian learning and missionary work.
St. Aidan was known for his simple way of life, his care for the poor, and his commitment to teaching the Gospel. He travelled throughout the region on foot, supporting those in need and helping to establish churches, schools, and communities of faith. His example of servant leadership, generosity, and lifelong learning continues to inspire our school community today.
