St. Joachim Catholic Elementary School opened for the school year 1990-1991 in Ancaster. The name of the school was selected to honour St. Joachim, devoted husband of Anne, father of our Blessed Mother, Mary, and grandfather to our Lord, Jesus, who has shown us the need for religion as the foundation for a happy family. The nurturing of a vibrant Catholic environment is clearly evident at St. Joachim Catholic Elementary School. The school community is blessed to have a very close relationship with its Church community and be part of St. Ann Parish in Ancaster, located on Wilson Street. The current population of the school is at approximately 400 students, and a staff of about 40. Cooperatively, home, school and parish work to nurture in our students a caring for all forms of life, a love of learning and a strong value system based on our Catholic Faith.
Ancaster is a historic town in the city of Hamilton, located on the Niagara Escarpment. Founded as a town in 1793, it immediately developed itself into one of the first important and influential early British Upper Canada communities established during the late 18th century eventually amalgamating with the city of Hamilton in 2001.
