St. Cecilia is committed to Catholic education as outlined in the mission statement of the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board. St. Cecilia is a caring school and community environment that stresses tolerance and acceptance of others, commitment to our Catholic faith and high academic standards. We provide a 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, "Growing in Faith", reflects a holistic philosophy where religion and daily life are intertwined.
Our students come to us with a variety of strengths and needs, with our Catholic faith as our common bond. Our prayer life, liturgical celebrations, the sacraments, and our faith and values system form the foundation of our school program. We are fortunate to have a chapel in the school that is the centre for many teacher and classroom celebrations.
At St. Cecilia, we are proud of our balanced religion, academic, arts and technology program, which offers students a well-rounded and value-centered education to help them make good choices for the future.
We the staff of St. Cecilia Catholic Elementary School celebrate spirituality and diversity through achieving, believing and community living in an inclusive Catholic environment. Working together, we attain success by educating students to their full potential.
