Our School History and Tradition
We are named after St. Cyril, whose strong faith and commitment to Christ continue to inspire our school community.
St. Cyril converted to Christianity despite government laws against his faith and opposition from his family.
Because of his unwavering faith, he refused to renounce Christ and was ultimately martyred by being cast into a fire.
We strive to follow St. Cyril’s example of courage, faith, and steadfast commitment to Christ.
Our school was built in 1958 and expanded in 1966 with the addition of a third floor.
Over the years, we have developed strong connections with our parish and the wider community.
We are proud that many of our current students are children of former St. Cyril graduates, creating a strong sense of family and tradition across generations.
French Immersion
We introduced French Immersion programming in Senior Kindergarten in 1985.
Beginning in September 2015, we expanded French Immersion to Junior Kindergarten.
Our French Immersion program continues to provide students with opportunities to develop their French language skills alongside their academic learning.
