About Us
St. Conrad Catholic School is located near the intersection of Keele Street and Wilson Avenue at 5 Exbury Road. Since opening in the early 1980s, the school has proudly served the local Catholic community. In 2012, a new school building was constructed on the original site, providing a modern learning environment for students and staff.
Our school motto—"Living Faith, Building Community, Achieving Excellence"—reflects our commitment to Catholic education, academic achievement, and strong community partnerships. Guided by these principles, we work together to foster a welcoming, faith-filled environment where every student is supported to learn, grow, and succeed.
Our School Mission
Our patron - St. Conrad - opened doors, encouraging others to know God. Our Catholic School is formed in faith, and committed to supporting student growth and achievement through the collaborative efforts of staff, family and Church. By striving for excellence, we teach our students that education will open doors to their future.
Our School History and Tradition
St. Conrad Catholic School was established in 1980 after the Metropolitan Separate School Board (now the Toronto Catholic District School Board) leased the former Roding Public School to serve the growing local Catholic community. Originally projected to welcome 300 students, enrolment quickly exceeded expectations, reaching 390 students by the end of its first month. The school is located in a residential neighbourhood adjacent to Roding Community Centre and Roding Park Arena. The official opening and blessing of the school took place on April 21, 1981.
The school is named in honour of St. Conrad of Parzham, a German Capuchin friar renowned for his humility, compassion, and lifelong service to those in need. As porter of the Capuchin convent at Altötting for more than 40 years, he became known for his kindness and dedication to the poor. Canonized by Pope Pius XI in 1930, St. Conrad continues to inspire our school community through his example of faith, charity, and service. His legacy is reflected in our original school motto, "We Are a Family," which continues to guide our commitment to building a caring and inclusive community.
