St. John Paul II Catholic School The St. John Paul II Catholic School community believes that a Catholic school is one in which the teachings of Jesus Christ are integrated into the day-to-day curriculum and social fabric of school life. The strength of our school comes from the Catholic faith that the staff, students and community share. We aspire to have our students develop a way of living that embodies the life of Jesus Christ. Our school engages all staff and students in 21st century learning opportunities. All of the learning systems – curriculum instruction, assessment, professional learning, accountability and resource allocation – are in support of 21st century learning. Students will be creative, critical-thinking global citizens, analysts, communicators and producers engaged in learning that is conceptual and authentic within an inquiry based environment. Academic Program: We offer instruction in English (Language), French (Language), Mathematics, Science and Technology, Religion & Family Life, Social Studies, The Arts (Visual Arts, Music, Drama and Dance), and Health & Physical Education.
