About Us
At St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic School, we are committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and healthy environment where every child can thrive. Rooted in Catholic values, we challenge students academically while nurturing their spiritual growth.
Inspired by the teachings of Jesus, our staff welcome all with respect, care, and acceptance. Each school day begins and ends with prayer, and school Masses and liturgical celebrations are central to our faith community. From Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8, students receive a rich religious education integrated into the curriculum.

School History and Tradition
St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic School opened its doors in the fall of 1976. It has often been described as a showplace of learning that blends seamlessly with the character of the surrounding neighbourhood.
The school continues its tradition of serving children and families in the local community, thanks to the cooperative efforts of a dedicated team of supportive, enthusiastic, and hardworking individuals. The strength and example of our patron saint, St. Elizabeth Seton, remain central to all aspects of school life.
Our school is named after St. Elizabeth Seton, a remarkable woman who was a poet, translator, teacher, and musician. She was also a wife, mother of five, mother superior, and principal. She rose early, worked tirelessly throughout the day, and rested late each night. As the founder of the Sisters of Charity, she was a powerful individual who lived by her faith in God's will. Elizabeth Ann Seton is a treasure of the Church and a lasting inspiration to our school community.
