General Information

At St. John Bosco School, we maintain high standards of academics and discipline in a nurturing, inclusive and faith-based environment; ensuring that all our actions are permeated in faith, love and forgiveness towards building hope in all

To prepare our students to live in and contribute to a changing world and engage in active faith-filled, lifelong learning; St. John Bosco School provides an interactive and collaborative inquiry based learning environment that promotes higher level critical thinking utilizing real-world tools.

Our school's 'Universal Design for Learning' principles incorporates best practices in all areas of the curriculum and provide multiple, varied, and flexible options for student representation, expression and engagement.

Through our 21st Century facilities, equipped with the most current of technologies and uniquely designed spaces, we offer our students a variety of choice and flexibility so that they can grow and develop into the young adults that God intended them to be.

Our dedicated staff works diligently and collaboratively; focused on providing our students a variety of hands on experiences and inquiry-based learning opportunities so that they are able to discover who they are and what they are meant to do in their future.

In partnership with our parents, our parish and the extended community we foster and develop a close working relationship between the community and the school. Research indicates that parents who are involved in their child's academic life contribute greatly to their child's progress in school. As such, we encourage parents to be involved with their child's education. This can be done in several ways; through regular volunteering in daily, or special event activities such as, classroom assistance, one to one reading with children, fieldtrip assistance, or involvement with the school council; regardless of how you wish to contribute, we value and celebrate our parents' contributions to our school.

Our liturgical celebrations, living our core values and our dedicated staff are just a few of the many ways that we celebrate that we are a Christ-centered learning community.
