Welcome to St. Padre Pio Academy Private Elementary School. We are a K-8 school located in Woodbridge, Ontario. The idea of creating a private Catholic elementary school was inspired by my own teaching experience at one of Toronto's most well established Catholic private schools. In 1995, I began to lay the foundation for a private Catholic elementary school north of Toronto. The City of Vaughan was emerging as a developing city centre and as the community grew there was a great need for quality education.
The focus of our school is a traditional Catholic curriculum that emphasizes literacy, numeracy, languages, and athletics in a small familial classroom setting. Today, our teachers and staff strive to deliver quality education in a safe and secure environment where instructional services and programs meet the needs of all students. The teaching staff is committed to providing a positive learning environment reflecting Ministry of Education Ontario curriculum standards. In addition to high academic standards, we strive to develop qualities that enable students to become responsible citizens in our society. Students are expected to conduct themselves in a positive manner and show respect for self and others as modeled by our namesake, St. Padre Pio. Additionally, students have opportunities to participate in a variety of extra curricular activities such as student drama, sports, chess and various academic competitions.
We wish you success in your family's academic endeavors
and we hope to welcome you into the St. Padre Pio Academy family in the
near future.
Sincerely,
Antonio Bisceglia B.A., B.Ed., M.Ed.
