MBCA works in partnership with RC Education providing an 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. You can learn more about the specifics of MBCA's curriculum by clicking here.

The MBCA curriculum does not include the Ontario Curriculum expectations. 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.

During these foundational years there will be inaugural events and extra-curricular activities that may become available regularly depending on student interest, capabilities, and parent volunteers. While we cannot offer robust extra-curricular programs right away, we do encourage initiative and the opportunity to explore how to enrich our school community!

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. Throughout MBCA's admissions process, an assessment will be offered for your child to understand his/her learning strengths and areas for growth. This allows our Admissions Office to understand the needs and capabilities of your child to determine if he/she is a right fit for the school and if MBCA is a right for your child and your family.

A list of school supplies will be provided to parents at the start of the school year.

MBCA is a registered Canadian charity with the CRA for the purpose of religious formation and education. As a charitable organization, MBCA is able to offer tax receipts for a portion of the paid tuition for the allocation of religious education time. These percentages fluctuate each year depending on the formula provided by the CRA in regards to several areas of the schools enrollments, financials, etc. and are provided to families in February/March of each year.

Bursaries and Financial Aid programs are funded by individual donors and various grants which support many families to invest in Catholic education. MBCA’s Board of Directors is working toward offering tuition assistance as soon as possible. A separate application will be required.

As MBCA is in it's foundational years, we are seeking to acquire the necessary funds to ensure a full successful operation of each school year. Currently, families will receive a 10% discount for the second child and a 20% discount for the third child enrolled at MBCA.

MBCA places great significance among hiring educators who hold the OCT (Ontario Certified Teacher) designation. This certification ensures that every educator at MBCA meets the rigorous professional standards set by the Ontario College of Teachers, demonstrating their commitment to excellence in teaching and dedication to fostering a high-quality learning environment for all students. In Ontario's private school system, teachers are not required to hold an OCT designation. MBCA leaves this option open for consideration for those seeking roles as support staff, EA's, etc. All staff at MBCA are considered formators; missionaries centered on recognizing the inherent value of each student as a child of God.

Educators are hired from the community after an application and interview process. Educators are expected to be active in their parish community, living in communion with the Catholic Church, and prepared to teach in accordance with the Magisterium of our Catholic faith. Educators and staff are also required to engage in continued faith formation provided by MBCA; including but not limited to: retreats, faith formation days, and professional development.

RC Education provides professional development conferences for the RC School network. Staff also has access to training and coaching for RC Educations' school curriculum implementation. MBCA also participates in professional development opportunities through the Consortium of Independent Ontario Catholic Schools.

Yes, MBCA's Uniform Policy is available on our website. The dress code enhances the learning atmosphere, adds a sense of pride and reduces competition among students. MBCA students are expected to wear their uniform in a manner that portrays a positive and modest self-image, conveys personal neatness and cleanliness, and demonstrates an attitude of excellence in performance and achievement.

Being the only Private Catholic School in the Halton Region, MBCA is seeking to offer a bus service once an adequate number of students and financial resources are acquired. While there is currently no bus service to and from MBCA, the school administration is able to coordinate carpooling for families from various neighboring towns/cities.

Currently, there has been no requirement for a Before & After Care program, however, MBCA is available to provide the necessary programming as needed for families. Please inquire with school administration upon applying.

MBCA's enrollment deadline is July 1st of each year prior to the coming school year.
