Message from the Director of Education
Dear Toronto Catholic District School Board Student:
Welcome! Secondary school is an important and exciting stage of your life. You will be faced with choices about what you will study and learn how to lay a strong foundation for your life’s pursuits after high school. This Program and Course Calendar provides important information to assist you and your parents to make informed choices to meet your individual and academic needs as well as interests in support of your future goals.
The Toronto Catholic District School Board is committed to meeting the needs of all students. We continue to offer innovative and creative programs; supports and pathways that will help take you toward graduation and your chosen path.
As a Catholic school system, we have embraced the opportunity to Nurture our Catholic Community Through Word, Worship and Witness, which gives us an opportunity to focus on the message of the Gospel, highlight the liturgical life of the local community and encourage the community to highlight the social justice teachings of the Catholic Church through outreach initiatives. Social justice, human rights and the preservation of our environment are only a few examples of how our commitment to Catholic values and traditions can enrich our learning environment and support our students in their academic, spiritual and emotional development.
I encourage you to examine your personal goals, consult with your family and work with your school’s guidance counsellors and teachers before making course selections as they can provide you with added support to ensure that your secondary school experience is a successful one.
We are confident that you will enjoy your secondary school experience as you prepare yourself for your future. Have fun!

Archbishop Romero completes its 21st year in September 2010. Since School Colours: 1989 we have emerged to serve a diverse population that helps to make us Maroon, Black and unique and strong. Our partnership with our elementary associate schools Grey and the dedication and expertise found in our teachers has resulted in higher than average EQAO scores in mathematics and has led to our school being designated as a “Centre for Professional Learning in Mathematics”. Our teaching methods employ the philosophy of “learning by doing”. Teachers offer lessons that take the theory outside the walls of the classroom. Students perform authentic work to produce tangible, often needed, products and services. By doing so, they explore the many potential careers available to them after they complete their formal education. We believe that the education of our students is a partnership of parents, school staff and their parish communities. Together, we share the responsibility for the formation of our students.
