Blessings to you all,
St. Gerard is a Kindergarten through Grade 6 school serving the areas of Westwood, Delton, Elmwood Park, Alberta Avenue, (north of 118 Avenue) and Eastwood (north of 120 Avenue).
At St. Gerard we provide academic programming in a safe and caring environment within the context of our strong Catholic identity and core values.
St. Gerard Catholic School offers many differentiated opportunities for our students. With a renewed Literacy and Numeracy focus, we are constantly seeking creative opportunities for meaningful student collaboration and innovation.
St. Gerard is an inclusive, Christ-centered, culturally diverse community that fosters critical and creative thinking, and social justice. Our students are personally invested and feel a strong connection to our school community.
The values embedded at school help students strive to build characteristics necessary for understanding themselves and others. Here, at St. Gerard, they experience a strong collaborative environment allowing them to learn and build a complete understanding of concepts through a multifaceted approach.
Through our full day kindergarten programming, we are able to provide a high quality program from the start of the educational journey. This program has a certified teacher as well an Early Childhood Educator, combined with multiple community and Division supports.
We are fortunate to be able to offer a free snack and lunch program. We have a variety of field trips and whole school experiences throughout the year. We also have a guided phonetics program which enriches our students reading and writing skills.
Our students have an opportunity through our Student Leadership program to become an active member of the school community. All students are encouraged to "Let their Light Shine" and rise up to serve our community and our world. Our leadership team assists with whole school activities, planning and executing, as well as many other leadership opportunities including monitoring, clubs and decision making and governance alongside the principal.
We have Out of School Care on site, as well as partnerships with other daycares who transport students to and from St. Gerard. Please call the office for more information and arrange a tour to visit our wonderful school!
