Fr. Frederick McGinn is a proud member school of the York Catholic District School Board. As such, our shared vision is to be "...a Catholic Learning Community of collaborative partners, called to serve one another by being committed to and accountable for quality learning by all, with Jesus as our inspiration." As such, we are committed to continually improving our school, creating an environment where everyone interacts and innovation and improvement are built into our daily activities; where we, as a Catholic Learning Community, can come together to reflect on our best practices, assess our effectiveness and make decisions about what we need to do to become even more effective; where we are all engaged in a common purpose; and where we rely on each other to reach agreed upon goals that we could not achieve independently.
Built upon a prime stretch of the glacially sculpted Oak Ridges Moraine – one of Ontario’s most well-known watersheds – the Oak Ridges neighbourhood is the northernmost in the City of Richmond Hill. Established along Yonge Street in 1799 by Joseph Genevieve and a group of French Royalists, Oak Ridges is located in the north end of Richmond Hill, east of King City, immediately south of Aurora, and west of Whitchurch-Stouffville. With all major arteries and public transit close at hand (YRT & VIVA), Oak Ridges is an extremely accessible neighbourhood for the downtown commuter. There are several older homes as well as extensive new developments in the area, and the neighbourhood includes several parks and schools.
