À propos de l'école Sainte-Marie Mère de Dieu

ENSEIGNEMENT CATHOLIQUE D'ESPRIT TRADITIONNEL

Sainte-Marie Mère de Dieu School is a private, non-subsidized, non-profit Roman Catholic school recognized and accredited by the Ontario Ministry of Education. It has also been a nationally registered charity since May 2023. For the 2025/26 school year, it offers in-person capacity for 125 students from kindergarten through Grade 12.

The school follows a trimester-based calendar with numbered weeks linked to all course content. In-person classes are offered at the kindergarten and elementary levels (Grades 1 to 6), using the programs of the Marist Brothers and the Brothers of the Christian Schools, as well as at the intermediate level (Grades 7 and 8), which includes science, English, and computer studies.

The school also offers its own courses in Thomistic philosophy, advanced mathematics, financial mathematics, Catholic culture (geopolitics, music, aesthetics, and repertoire appreciation), history and geography, Canadian and world studies, French, classical Latin, and advanced English from Grades 9 to 12, with a “classical studies” specialization, and also with a “science” specialization, awarding the Ontario Secondary School Diploma to its graduates.

Finally, the school offers hybrid teaching for intermediate and secondary students, both online live (no pre-recorded videos) and in-person.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us.

Mot du Directeur

La foi, la connaissance et l’action sont des mots d’une très grande importance. La foi catholique est comprise comme la fidélité aux exigences de l’honnêteté dans l’assurance des choses que nul ne voit; elle est la certitude de Dieu, encore faut-il savoir l’expliquer à l’univers entier qui, lui, « attend d’une vive espérance la manifestation des enfants de Dieu » — Rom. VIII, 19. La foi illumine l’étude (la foi éclaire la raison) et forme la jeunesse dans le discernement d’une vocation future. La connaissance des langues (français, anglais et latin), de l'histoire, de la philosophie, de la musique, des mathématiques et des sciences, donnera à l’élève le pouvoir un jour d’expliquer sa foi dans une vie d’action où il saura réfléchir de manière lucide et mener sa vie selon les désirs de Dieu. Voilà le projet pédagogique, projet immanquable qui passe par Sainte-Marie, Mère de Dieu, médiatrice de toutes les grâces.
