About Us
St. Conrad Catholic School has proudly served the local Catholic community since opening in the early 1980s. In 2012, a new school building opened on the original site, providing a modern learning environment for students and staff.
Our motto, Living Faith, Building Community, Achieving Excellence, reflects our commitment to Catholic education, academic achievement, and strong community partnerships. Guided by these principles, we foster a welcoming, faith-filled environment where every student is supported to learn, grow, develop their gifts, reach their full potential, 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 when the Metropolitan Separate School Board (MSSB), now the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB), leased the former Roding Public School to serve the growing Catholic community. Originally projected to welcome 300 students, enrolment quickly reached 390 in the first month. Located near Roding Community Centre and Roding Park Arena, the school was officially opened and blessed on April 21, 1981.
We are named after St. Conrad of Parzham, a German Capuchin friar known for his humility, compassion, faith, and lifelong service to those in need. For more than 40 years, he served as porter of the Capuchin convent at Altötting and became known for his kindness and dedication to the poor. Canonized by Pope Pius XI in 1930, St. Conrad continues to inspire our commitment to faith, charity, and service. His example is reflected in our motto, We Are a Family, and our commitment to being a caring, inclusive, and welcoming community.
