About Us
At St. Antoine Daniel Catholic School, we provide a positive, faith-based learning environment where students are nurtured academically, physically, and spiritually. Our caring staff offer programs and opportunities that support diverse needs, while fostering academic excellence, athletic achievement, leadership, and strong community connections through activities such as Student Council, Choir, Chess, Prime Mentors, and ME to We.
We maintain a strong partnership with St. Edward the Confessor Church, celebrating monthly Mass and preparing students for First Communion, Reconciliation, and Confirmation. Our active Catholic School Parent Council further strengthens the partnership among home, school, parish, and the wider community.
Our Catholic Identity
We provide a Catholic education rooted in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, supporting students’ spiritual, academic, social, emotional, artistic, physical, and personal growth. Daily prayer, Scripture reflection, the National Anthem, and monthly Virtues assemblies strengthen our Catholic identity, while students are recognized for living out Gospel values.
Student Well-Being and Safety
We are committed to a safe, welcoming, and inclusive learning environment. Our Safe Arrival Program, supervised arrival and dismissal, safety patrols, and secure visitor protocols help promote student safety. Our Code of Behaviour emphasizes self-discipline, respect, responsibility, care for others, and care for the environment. We also work closely with families to support student health and well-being, including maintaining a peanut-aware environment and responding to individual medical needs.
Learning and Academic Support
We prioritize literacy and numeracy through a curriculum rooted in Catholic values and aligned with Ontario expectations. We support diverse learning needs through early intervention, special education, gifted and enrichment programs, and English as a Second Language (ESL) services, recognizing each student’s unique strengths, interests, and abilities.
Enrichment and Co-Curricular Opportunities
Students have opportunities to explore their academic, artistic, athletic, and personal interests through vocal and instrumental music, technology-integrated learning, TCDSB athletics, W5H, public speaking, and inter-school events.
Family and Community Engagement
We value strong partnerships among students, families, staff, our Catholic School Parent Council, parish, and wider community. Through parent engagement and opportunities to participate in school life, we work together to promote excellence, equity, and success for every student in a faith-filled learning environment.
Our School History and Tradition
Opening in 1970 as St. Daniel School, we welcomed 126 students to an eight-classroom, open-concept building. As the community grew, we adapted to meet the changing needs of our students and families. In 1988, the school was renovated to replace the open-concept design with enclosed classrooms. Today, we continue to embrace new technologies and provide learning opportunities that reflect our diverse community.
In 1984, we were renamed St. Antoine Daniel Catholic School in honour of St. Antoine Daniel, a Jesuit missionary who served the Huron people and became one of the Canadian Martyrs.
We maintain strong partnerships with our parish, families, and community. Our Catholic School Parent Council (CSPC) actively supports school initiatives, while collaboration among students, families, staff, parish, and community partners remains central to our school community.
