St. Joachim School is an elementary school of approximately 500 students, of diverse social, economic and ethnic backgrounds, from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8.  The school was opened and received its official blessing on May 11, 1979.  Our students come from a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds and our school population reflects the rich diversity of cultures found within Brampton.  Our school is equipped with two gyms, a stage, computer lab, a large library.

We have a tradition of offering a wide range of extra-curricular programs including our Liturgical Choir, the P.A.L.S. (Playground Activity Leaders in Schools) , the Rosary Club, Student Council, and a variety of intramural and extramural athletics.

St. Joachim is a caring school and community that stresses tolerance and acceptance of others, commitment to our Catholic faith and high academic standards.  We provide a safe and comfortable learning environment where models of Gospel values and Catholic doctrines, teachings and beliefs are an integral part of the daily life of our school.  The school motto, "Celebrating Our Faith", reflects our holistic philosophy within which religion and daily learning are intertwined. All activities at St. Joachim - academic and pastoral work, extracurricular and intra-curricular, prayer and worship, administration and management - help to prepare our students for their lives as Catholics in the community.
