As a Catholic community we integrate faith with culture so that every aspect of the curriculum is taught in light of the Gospel. The spiritual, intellectual, physical, emotional and social development of every student informs our daily life. The energy and creativity of our staff and students afford us the privilege to continuously reflect on our practices and regularly celebrate success. Bishop Allen is an excellent educational setting for the highly motivated student who enjoys learning. Our challenging academic curriculum includes a Congregated Advanced Placement program with pre-advanced Placement (enriched) credit courses beginning in grade nine and Advanced Placement courses in senior years. We are also proud to offer an Early Immersion and Middle Immersion (Extended) French Program. Upon graduation, our students will be eligible for either the Immersion French Certificate or the Extended French Certificate awarded by the Toronto Catholic District School Board.
