Mother Teresa Elementary School

Our School

Together with home, church and community, Mother Teresa Catholic School is dedicated to fostering through Catholic values, responsible lifelong learners, respectful of themselves and others who are caring contributing members of society.

Student Success Programs

​The primary purpose of Student Success is to improve student learning. Mother Teresa is committed to assessment and evaluation practices that are grounded in the belief that all students should be able to demonstrate their learning in an environment that reflects the Catholic values of fairness, equity and respect for all.

Our Catholic perspective has always been that student are life-long learners and so it is with this in mind that teachers program for every student based on the Board and the School Improvement plans, daily work results, benchmark, report card and EQAO data. This information in turn is used to inform instruction through the construction of appropriate pathways and differentiated instruction within these pathways to match every student's learning style
