MBCA works in partnership with RC Education providing Integral Formation® which is an education model rooted in faith in Jesus Christ and sound Christian anthropology, leading us to be steadfast in our vision of forming Christian leaders. This educational model is shared among 154 schools around the world, and 11 schools across North America.
MBCA's curriculum expectations are adopted from RC Education which exceed the Ontario curriculum expectations and standards. All core subject areas such as Math, Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, etc., are offered in the Canadian context.
Private schools are not required to use the Ontario curriculum unless they are seeking authority to grant credits toward the OSSD. MBCA is exploring its high school programs and course accreditation and hopes to expand to grades 9-12 in the near future.
Each subject area within our curriculum emphasizes different learning strands and benchmarks for student achievement. In addition, through small class sizes, educators are able to perform regular assessments and communicate directly with parents to report on a student’s progress. In addition to regular communication, educators provide progress reports/report cards three times a year, along with parent and teacher interviews twice a year.
While MBCA is a growing school and may not yet mirror the scale of long-established private institutions, we actively are looking to provide a rich and expanding range of clubs, sports, leadership opportunities, service initiatives, and faith-based activities.
Current opportunities that take place throughout the school year include Math Coding Labs, STEM club, and Knights of the Altar. We also collaborate with the Oakville YMCA for physical education, parishes, and local organizations to broaden opportunities where appropriate, and we continue to expand our extra-curricular offerings each year as our student body grows.
At MBCA we aim to keep class sizes small which will allow for individual support and the ability to adjust the educational plan for each student as needed. Parents, staff and administrators work together to design an educational model that fits the needs of your child in a encouraging and flourishing atmosphere.
In addition, our Assessment Coordinator and Learning Strategist are available to work alongside students and families, providing targeted support and guidance to help each child reach their full potential.
