Arts

The Arts program at SBA strives to tap into the creative potential and God-given talents of all of our students. We welcome students of all abilities: whether you come with experience or have never taken an arts course before, our caring and knowledgeable teachers will help you develop your full potential. All students are required to take one arts course in order to fulfill their graduation requirements and with a wide range of courses offered in visual arts, musical arts and dramatic arts, the possibilities are endless.

Business

Business education provides students with the critical skills to manage their finances, learn to become smart consumers and gain the skills necessary to become the future leaders of tomorrow. Your future is OUR business.

Chaplaincy

Chaplaincy is “The action of the liberating Christ in the heart of the school community, through a set of well-thought-out and meaningful interventions accomplished within the Church.” (A Pastoral Letter from the Education Commission March 2009).

“School chaplaincy is a pastoral role carried out in an educational setting in a collaborative and cooperative manner in order to promote the spiritual and human development of the members of the Catholic school community.”

These converge on the four following points:

-that secondary school chaplaincy is exercised for the whole school community, students, and staff;

-that it seeks an increase in the Christian faith-life of all;

-that it is ecclesial in its nature and its goal:

-that it is shaped by the educational setting in which it is carried out.

Chaplaincy welcomes and supports all SBA students. It seeks to serve our school embracing its diverse culture, ethnic, and faith backgrounds while recognizing and celebrating God’s presence and activities within its diversity.

Cooperative Education

Cooperative education provides secondary school students with a wide range of rigorous learning opportunities connected to communities outside the school. It is designed  to recognize and respond to the diversity of Ontario’s student population, and it can  engage all students. In cooperative education, students learn in safe, culturally responsive environments in the community.

Cooperative Education allows students to earn secondary school credits while completing a work placement.

Experiential learning will provide students the opportunity to develop Christian values and practice proper ethics in the world of work.
