Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic School, located at Don Mills Road and Seneca Hill Drive in North York, offers a full curriculum of Catholic education to Roman Catholic students from Junior Kindergarten (age 4) to grade 8. Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic School is one of three Catholic elementary schools within the St. Timothy Catholic Church Parish. Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic School was built as an open concept school and has since undergone renovation to build individual classrooms. Our Junior Kindergarten room has access to a separate play area for the Junior Kindergarten students. The single gymnasium has large separate change rooms for boys and girls and also has a kitchen. In addition, the gymnasium has a dual purpose as an auditorium with a full stage. Furthermore, our gymnasium is used as a congregated lunch room facility for all the students from grades 1-8. The library on the second floor also serves as a computer lab.
Don Valley Village, developed in the 1960s and 1970s, occupies the space that was originally a collection of farming hamlets in the early 19th century. Two historical landmarks still exist from that period: the Zion Schoolhouse and the Alexander Muirhead Victorian farmhouse. The mix of housing here includes split level homes, semi-detached homes, and family-size detached houses featuring Georgian, Tudor, and contemporary-style designs. There are also a large concentration of high-rise apartment and condominium buildings. The area is extremely well connected to the rest of the city.
