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

St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic School opened in the fall of 1976 and has long been recognized as a vibrant center of learning that blends naturally with the surrounding neighbourhood.

We continue to serve children and families in the local area through the dedication of a supportive, enthusiastic, and hardworking team. The strength and example of our patron saint, St. Elizabeth Seton, remain central to all aspects of school life.

Our Patron Saint

Our school is named after St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, a remarkable woman of many talents—poet, translator, teacher, musician, wife, and mother of five. She also served as a principal and mother superior. As the founder of the Sisters of Charity, she lived by her deep faith in God's will, rising early and working tirelessly each day. Canonized as a saint, she remains a lasting inspiration and a treasured figure in our school community.
