Catholic School Graduate Expectations

The Ontario Catholic School Graduate Expectations are foundational to our exemplary approach to education. A Catholic school graduate is expected to be:

  1. A discerning believer formed in the Catholic faith community who celebrates the signs and sacred mysteries of God’s presence through word, sacrament, prayer, forgiveness, reflection and moral living.

  2. An effective communicator who speaks, writes and listens honestly and sensitively, responding critically in light of gospel values.

  3. A reflective, creative and holistic thinker who solves problems and makes responsible decisions with an informed moral conscience for the common good.

  4. A self-directed, responsible, life-long learner who develops and demonstrates their God-given potential.

  5. A collaborative contributor who finds meaning, dignity and vocation in work which respects the rights of all and contributes to the common good.

  6. A caring family member who attends to family, school, parish, and the wider community.

  7. A responsible citizen who gives witness to Catholic social teaching by promoting peace, justice and the sacredness of human life.

"The world looks to you as you look around yourselves and say: we need you, we want you to come together to share with us in this common mission, as Church and in society, of announcing a message of true hope and of promoting peace, promoting harmony, among all peoples."

- Pope Leo XIV (August 2, 2025, during the Jubilee of Youth at Tor Vergata)
