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!
