Special Education Admissions Policy

St. Thomas More Collegiate is committed to the education of the whole child in the spiritual, emotional/social, intellectual, artistic/aesthetic and physical realms. It is, therefore, our long-term goal to implement a program and curriculum enabling it to accept and meet the needs of all Catholic students from our feeder schools and parishes. Consistent with this goal is an effort to make our facilities more accessible for students with special needs. Presently, we are limited by space considerations and will accept special needs students as space allows.

In our commitment to students of special needs we recall the words of Pope John Paul II at BC Place in 1984, "the value and dignity of the human person does not arise from the physical or mental qualities, from efficiency, productivity, or speed in one's actions. It comes rather from the fundamental fact that each individual is created by God and redeemed by the blood of his Son, Jesus Christ."
