About Us
At St. Luigi Catholic School, we pride ourselves on the strong partnership that exists among the home, the school and the parish.
Mission Statement
St. Luigi Catholic School is a community formed by Catholic beliefs and traditions. Our Mission is to educate our young people to their full potential by integrating Catholic beliefs, academic, and technical instruction in the total learning experience for our most prized possession, our students.
How We Meet the Diverse Needs of Our Students

We strive to provide a safe and welcoming learning environment through the safe arrival program and the student code of behaviour.
Programs are modified to provide for the diversity of language, social and learning needs. These are addressed in the regular program as well as through our special education and English as a second language programs.
Cocurricular and extracurricular activities include chess club, mini tennis, soccer, volleyball, basketball, cross-country, track and field, baseball, choir, instrumental music, talent show, W5H and other joint parent/school activities.
School History and Tradition
The new facilities built for students of St. Luigi Catholic School were officially opened and blessed on June 3, 1979. St. Luigi, one of the pioneer sharing schools, was opened in Perth Avenue Public School in 1973, and portables were added as enrollment grew.
Our school is named for Father Luigi Monti, the founder of the religious order known as the “Sons of the Immaculate Conception”. Throughout his entire life, he dedicated himself to serving God, and alternated the task of educator with that of nurse when cholera broke out. He did not spare himself in helping the sick, and today, the “Sons of the Immaculate Conception” continue the work of Father Luigi in hospitals, and educational apostolates as priests, doctors, nurses, teachers and educators.
