Prospective Students
Dear Prospective Parent:The mission of Holy Name of Mary College School is to educate young women to their full potential within the teachings and traditions of the Catholic faith. Central to our educational philosophy is our focus on providing young women with opportunities to achieve academic excellence, supported by a full co-curricular programme in the arts, athletics, and outdoor education. Our school will provide students with enriched learning experiences, positive female role models, and a wide variety of leadership opportunities. Students will learn in a community that values connectedness and belonging.
Our Catholic religious identity will be lived out in both the curricular and co-curricular programme. Catholic education directs students to an understanding of the truth in all disciplines. Catholic core values will be integrated into the curriculum, as well as into the daily life of the school, and there will be an emphasis on social justice issues and service to others. Holy Name of Mary College School will provide a liberal arts education where the arts, sciences, and humanities will be emphasized. Advanced Placement courses and a focus on leadership will prepare our students for university and for the challenges of the modern world.
At Holy Name of Mary College School, staff and faculty work to create a culture that supports the aspirations and efforts of each of our students. The resulting environment is one in which your daughter will learn to be confident, compassionate, independent, reflective, and creative. We will encourage her to think deeply and critically, to communicate clearly, to probe the questions of life with a spirit of curiosity and discernment, and to approach the challenges set before her with a belief in her own ability to assess her options and to act with conviction and integrity.
Holy Name of Mary College School is Ontario’s only Catholic independent school for girls in grades 5 to 12. The Felician Sisters, the school’s founding order, bring to the school a rich history of faithful service and devotion to the ideal of educating young women. We are grateful that the Sisters will continue their commitment to Holy Name of Mary by providing a spiritual presence within the school community.
I am delighted to be part of this pioneering effort to provide a distinctive model of Catholic education to young women. We welcome your inquiries and thank you for your interest in our school. Should you require further information, or if you would like to book a personal appointment to discuss your daughter’s educational needs and interests, please feel free to contact us at admissions@hnmcs.ca or at (905) 891-1890.
Sincerely,
Margaret DeCourcy
President
