Purchasing a home in a new neighborhood or city is a big decision. One of the most important factors in choosing a specific area is the quality of school. We have already discussed Mississauga's Best Public Schools, but what are best Catholic schools in Mississauga?
The Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board works differently than the Peel District School Board. The curriculum includes the teaching of religion, family life, the practice of prayer and worship, and the presence of Gospel values. Schools have strong links to parishes and assist them with sacramental preparation and Parish staff conduct liturgies and provide other services within the schools. The Catholic school system maintains strong links between the home, school and church, and parental participation in the education of students is highly encouraged. These links provide for a natural reinforcement and development of Christian values in the Catholic tradition.
As with public schools, Catholic schools are also measured by the Fraser Institute. The Fraser Institute is a group that looks at various factors and comes up with a "Score" out of 10 to rate each school. A score of 7.0 or above is considered Very Good. Using these rankings, we can put together a list of the schools which we consider to be Mississauga's Top 10 Schools (Both Elementary & Secondary).
