A Rich History of French Catholic Education

Saint-Philippe School first opened its doors in September 1969, sharing space with an English-language Catholic school. By 1976, the growing demand for French-language education led to the establishment of a dedicated school building, named Saint-Philippe, in honor of Philippe Desjardins.

With eight classrooms and a small gymnasium, the school continued to expand, adding seven portable classrooms over the years. In 1984, a significant renovation added:

• Eight new classrooms
• A larger gymnasium
• A resource center

This expansion provided enhanced learning spaces and modern facilities for students and educators.
