About Us
St. Stephen Catholic School is a large, vibrant elementary school located in Etobicoke, serving a diverse student population. We are dedicated to supporting students with a wide range of strengths and needs, while remaining firmly rooted in our Catholic faith and values.
Our Commitment to Catholic Education
We proudly uphold the mission of the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB), with our Catholic faith at the centre of school life. At St. Stephen, our Catholic identity is lived daily through prayer, liturgical celebrations, participation in the sacraments, a cross-curricular focus on Catholic virtues, and faith-based interactions among students, staff, and families. Together, these practices foster an inclusive and welcoming faith community.
School History and Tradition
St. Stephen Catholic School opened its doors in September 1961 and continues to serve a multicultural community from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8. More than half of our students speak a language other than English at home, enriching our school with diverse cultures and perspectives.
Our Patron Saint
St. Stephen, the first Christian martyr and patron of our school, is remembered for preaching the Good News with courage and conviction and remaining steadfast in his faith. Inspired by his example, our students are encouraged to live their Christian faith through kindness, service, and compassion. His feast day is celebrated on December 26.
