How We Meet the Diverse Needs of Our Students

St. Ignatius of Loyola Catholic School offers a wide variety of programs including regular Gr. 1-8 classes, Full-Day Early Learning Kindergarten, International Languages (Mandarin and Tagalog), Special Education Resource Support, Gifted Program Centre (for north Scarborough), and classes for students with Multiple Exceptionalities. A diverse population is serviced with an attempt to meet each student's individual spiritual, academic, social and emotional needs.

Catholic Environment

St. Ignatius of Loyola Catholic School provides a learning environment where models of Gospel values and Catholic doctrines, teaching and beliefs are integral aspects of daily life. Religious Education and Family Life programs, sanctioned by the Canadian Conference of Bishops, are taught at each level and form a firm foundation for the faith development of students. Students are taught to live their faith by participating in liturgical and paraliturgical celebrations, food drives, ShareLife campaigns and Me To We initiatives, as well as living each day in a Christian manner through prayer and action.

Safe and Welcoming Environment

We pride ourselves in providing a safe, inviting school. Students adhere to a code of conduct which assists in providing security for all, both inside the school and in the playground. Our safe arrival program, where parents call in advance to inform us of a child's absence, assists us in ensuring that all of our students are safe.

Curriculum Initiatives

The staff at St. Ignatius of Loyola develops programs from Kindergarten to Grade 8 which are consistent with the Ministry of Education and the Toronto Catholic District School Board curriculum guidelines. Every effort is made to modify programs in order to accommodate individual student needs.
