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.
Safety and Daily Procedures
Creating a safe and welcoming environment is a top priority. Attendance is monitored daily, with the Safe Arrival Program ensuring all students are accounted for. Sign-in and sign-out procedures are required for appointments, and visitor protocols are enforced. Students also regularly participate in fire drills and lockdown practices in accordance with Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) requirements.
Promoting Positive Behaviour
We believe students learn best when they feel safe and supported. Our Code of Conduct is outlined in student agendas for Grades 1 to 8, while discipline is handled individually with an emphasis on positive reinforcement. Monthly assemblies celebrate students who demonstrate positive behaviour and personal growth.
Academic Excellence
St. Elizabeth Seton follows the Ontario curriculum and TCDSB guidelines. Teachers collaborate to meet student needs, regularly analyze student work to set goals and improve instruction, and participate in ongoing professional development through divisional meetings and Board-sponsored training.
Extracurricular Opportunities
Students can participate in a variety of extracurricular activities, including sports teams, cross-country, track and field, choir, and W5H quiz competitions. Activities are offered before or after school and during lunch.
School History
Opened in 1976, St. Elizabeth Seton has long been a vibrant centre of learning, serving local children and families through a dedicated and supportive school community. The example and strength of our patron saint, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, remain central to our Catholic identity and school life.
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton was a devoted woman of faith who served as a teacher, musician, wife and mother, principal, and mother superior. As the founder of the Sisters of Charity, she dedicated her life to serving others. Her faith, compassion, and commitment continue to inspire our students, staff, and wider school community.
