People brought little children to Him, for Him to lay His hands on them and say a prayer. The disciples turned them away, but Jesus said, "Let the little children alone, and do not stop them coming to me; for it is to such as these that the Kingdom of Heaven belongs." Matthew 15:13-15

Effective Catholic schools are an integral part of our homes, schools and parishes. The sacredness of human life is a core belief in which the work of students promotes the Kingdom of God, the dignity of the human person and the preferential option for the poor and vulnerable.

Our Roman Catholic schools celebrate excellence in academic achievement with a vibrant sacramental life to embrace Catholic values, morals and discipline that reflects more than 160 years of Catholic education in the province of Ontario.

The London District Catholic School Board proudly embraces the Catholic School Effectiveness Framework: A Collegial Process for Continued Growth in the Effectiveness of Ontario Elementary Schools.

The framework celebrates the talents of our educators and highlights the alignment of school improvement planning with enriched learning opportunities for the students entrusted to our care.

The evidence-informed practices that emanate from the Catholic School Effectiveness Framework will continue the growth of our Catholic schools, support professional learning and enhance the achievement of students.

We pray that God will bless us as we help students to understand God's embrace in the spirit of Jesus Christ.
