At St. Ursula Catholic School, our mission is to educate students to their full potential. Our programs and instructional practices are designed to prioritize the needs of each learner. As a professional learning community, staff continuously reflect on key questions:

• How do we know learning has taken place?

• How do we celebrate individual and group successes?

• What is our plan when students are not learning?

These questions guide the design, implementation, and review of our curriculum and teaching strategies.

We foster a faith-based learning environment through the following practices:

• Emphasizing a shared mission and purpose within our professional learning community.

• Teaching Catholic doctrine, traditions, and beliefs through a Christ-centered curriculum.

• Supporting the spiritual, academic, and social development of each student.

• Encouraging staff and parents to model Catholic values.

• Celebrating our faith through liturgies and paraliturgies.

• Welcoming regular visits from our local pastor to strengthen school-parish ties.

• Beginning each day with Bible reading and reflection.

• Integrating sacramental preparation into Grade 2 and Grade 8 religion programs.

• Maintaining a central prayer table and classroom prayer spaces for spiritual reflection.

• Engaging students in charitable activities such as fundraising and food drives.

We are committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and respectful school climate through:

• Programs that promote student self-esteem and mutual respect.

• A safe arrival program to ensure student well-being.

• School policies and procedures that prioritize safety and security.

• Discipline practices that are educational and help students take responsibility for their actions.

• Active involvement from parents, volunteers, co-op students, and community workers to support individual student needs.

For over 45 years, St. Ursula Catholic School has proudly served the children of Guildwood Village and the surrounding Scarborough area. Our school community is closely connected to St. Martin de Porres Parish, which many of our families attend. Some families also live within the St. Boniface Parish boundaries.

We recognize and celebrate the diversity of our community. Many families choose to worship in churches that offer services in their cultural languages, allowing them to stay connected to their faith in meaningful and familiar ways.
