Christ and His teachings permeate all aspects of life at Loretto Abbey. Everyone is a child of God, unique and special. Everyone is treated with respect and with dignity. Students meet Christ sacramentally in school liturgies and in the retreat program, and come to know the mind of Christ in religion class.
A safe and welcoming learning environment is ensured for all. The Abbey Watch program with visits from Metro Police Assault Unit, Street Crime Unit and the TTC Safety Watch Department and tae-kwon-do taught in grade 9 and 10 physical education remind students to “always think safety”.
Excellence characterizes the academic program at the Abbey. An extended French program is available for students with appropriate qualifications. Programs such as Shad Valley, Advanced Placement and University Mentorship offer enrichment opportunities for all students. Excursions to foreign countries are available to enhance student learning. Our respected cooperative education program offers opportunities for student career exploration and to put theoretical knowledge learned in the classroom to practical use in the workplace. At the Abbey, the largest number of secondary school students within the board is enrolled in music courses. Also, computers across the curriculum are of utmost importance and a state-of-the-art cross-curricular lab is available to enrich all academic courses. Our science program is one of the largest within our system. We have eight sections of Physics alone. The gifted program is a service provided for students who require additional challenge and different programming to meet their full potential according to their needs, interests and abilities.
Our students are encouraged to participate in our extensive co-curricular program including music, drama productions, numerous clubs and a variety of athletic programs at the intramural and extramural levels. Opportunities to enter business, English, mathematical and biology competitions and school science fairs are available to motivate students to reach greater heights. The entire program at Loretto Abbey is designed to challenge all students to learn and equip themselves with knowledge, skills and values needed to take an active role as Christian leaders in our modern Canadian society of the 21st century.
