About Us
At St. Brendan Catholic School, we believe every child is unique and strive to support each student’s academic, spiritual, and personal growth in a caring Catholic environment. Faith is woven into school life through prayer, charity, ShareLife, food drives, and service to those in need, guided by the catechetical program approved by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops.
In alignment with the Toronto Catholic District School Board's (TCDSB) vision, we are committed to a safe, welcoming, and inclusive community where students develop positive relationships, conflict-resolution and problem-solving skills. Through differentiated instruction, technology, and specialized programs, we support diverse learning needs and interests.
Students can also explore their talents through music, drama, choir, chess, house leagues, and inter-school athletics, with a long tradition of success in soccer, volleyball, and cross-country.
School History and Tradition
We opened in 1972 in a portable building before moving into our permanent facility in 1974. Named by Father Kenna, pastor of St. Joseph Church, we were the first TCDSB school east of the Highland Creek Bridge and the first school in St. Joseph’s Parish. Rapid community growth led to the addition of numerous portables, followed by a major expansion that was officially opened and blessed in May 1992.
Today, we are proud to offer a state-of-the-art facility serving a vibrant and multicultural community. Our students and families bring diverse experiences and backgrounds, united by our shared Catholic faith.
