Since 1989 we have emerged to serve a diverse population that helps to make us unique and strong. Our 830 partnership with our elementary associate schools 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 School Colours: Mathematics”. Maroon, Black and Our teaching methods employ the philosophy of “learning by doing”. Teachers offer Grey 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.

St. Michael’s Choir School is a Catholic Community whose primary Principal: mission is the education of young Christian gentlemen. At the center of Mr. Domnic Melino the community’s academic effort to make the universe intelligible to growing minds is an experience of music for the praise of God in Jesus Christ. Superintendent: Ms. Bernice Brand

Trustee: More about St. Michael’s Choir School: Ms. Catherine

LeBlanc-Miller St. Michael’s Choir School was founded in 1937 by Fr. John Edward Ronan to facilitate the training of a boys’ choir for St. Michael’s Cathedral. St. Student Michael’s Choir School was formed from humble beginnings as a privately Population: run institution. In 1967 a partnership was formed with the Toronto Catholic School Board that is still in existence today. From the very beginning the 95 school has provided parishes in the Toronto Diocese and beyond with organists, cantors, conductors, and professional singers. Choir School School Colours: students have unique responsibilities. In addition to singing at weekend liturgies and on select feast days, the boys also provide music for some 50 Navy Blue funerals throughout the year, as well as other celebrations held at the Cathedral and throughout the Archdiocese. Along with all of these responsibilities, all students study piano and theory with the option to study organ and strings, so that they can serve as parish musicians after they graduate. The students also share their music with a wider audience through recordings, media appearances and annual concert tours. It is the combination of these various activities and requirements that make the Choir School program rigorous and challenging. We hope that you will embrace the challenge and make the Choir School community your community.
