MISSION STATEMENT

St. Basil Catholic School is committed to Catholic education as outlined in the mission statement of the Dufferin- Peel Catholic District School Board. 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 systems form the foundation of our school program. 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.

CATHOLIC FOCUS

St. Basil School was established in 1982 and currently has 255 students who attend Kindergarten to grade Eight classes. The school is associated with the St. Martha and Mary Parish. Our students reflect a diversity of cultures and ethnic backgrounds. Our school resides within the eastern region of Mississauga, close to all major amenities. Our community is a densely populated area of Mississauga that consists of a variety of dwellings, both rentals and privately owned. Development within our community has stabilized.

Our school provides a faith filled learning environment for all. The teachings of our Catholic Faith are an integral part of our day. Our Gospel values, Catholic Virtues and the Catholic Graduate Expectations are woven into everything we do. Within our community, faith is a lived experience modelled by staff, students and those who choose to share in the teaching of our children. We celebrate our faith throughout the academic year by reflecting on the liturgical calendar. We come together at various vibrant and spiritual liturgies to share in communal prayer and to acknowledge the spiritual seasons and holy days. Throughout the year, parents, staff and students share with others through outreach to the greater community. Throughout the course of the year, we donate to a number of charitable organizations.
