St. Francis Xavier Catholic School is a vibrant and growing community serving students from Full-Day Kindergarten to Grade 8. We are committed to nurturing the development of the whole child—spiritually, academically, socially, and emotionally—within a safe and welcoming Catholic environment.

We are committed to helping every student reach their full potential. Our focus on literacy and numeracy is supported by:

• Ongoing curriculum review and development within a Catholic framework.

• Differentiated instruction and a variety of teaching strategies.

• Support for new Canadians and students with diverse learning needs.

• Programs for gifted learners and those with talents in music, drama, and art.

• Use of provincial standards to assess and report student progress.

• Strong collaboration among teachers, parents, students, and the community.

We support a wide range of student abilities through:

• Early intervention programs.

• Special education and enrichment/gifted programs.

• English as a Second Language (ESL) support.

• Vocal and instrumental music programs.

• Technology integration to enhance learning.

• Participation in interschool events (e.g., sports, W5H, public speaking).

• Regular parent-school information sessions.

Education at St. Francis Xavier goes beyond the classroom. We offer a wide range of co-curricular activities to support student growth, including:

• House league and interschool athletics

• Clubs and enrichment programs

• Arts-based opportunities in music, drama, and visual arts

These programs help students develop leadership, teamwork, and confidence.

We prioritize student safety and well-being through:

• A Safe Arrival Program.

• A Code of Behaviour based on self-discipline, respect for self, others, and the environment.

• Regular communication with parents and guardians.

Our school fosters a welcoming atmosphere for both students and families.

St. Francis Xavier Catholic School welcomed its first students in 1959. As the community grew, additions were made in 1964 and 1981, bringing the school to its current size. In 1984, the school celebrated its 25th anniversary, coinciding with the year of the papal visit.

The school is named after St. Francis Xavier, a Jesuit priest and missionary who worked alongside Ignatius of Loyola. He carried out missionary work in India and Japan, spreading the message of the Gospel. He was canonized by Pope Gregory XV in 1622, and his feast day is celebrated on December 3.

St. Francis Xavier Catholic School is part of the St. Fidelis Parish community. While some families also attend St. Bernard Parish, students traditionally receive the sacraments of First Communion and Confirmation through St. Fidelis Church.

School liturgies are thoughtfully planned by a staff liturgical committee and are celebrated both at the church and within the school throughout the academic and liturgical year.
