New Northglen Catholic School in Clarington Catchment Review Launches

This process will help determine the school’s boundaries and ensure a balanced, sustainable distribution of students across our schools in Clarington.

Dec. 11, 2024

Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Clarington (PVNC) Catholic District School Board is excited to plan for a new Catholic elementary school in Clarington, which is set to open in September 2026.

This state-of-the-art facility at Northglen Blvd. and Middle Rd., will accommodate up to 493 students and include a three-room childcare centre to serve infants, toddlers, and preschoolers in the growing community.

To prepare for the opening of the yet-to-be-named school, PVNC Catholic is conducting a catchment area review. This process will help determine the school’s boundaries and ensure a balanced, sustainable distribution of students across our schools in Clarington.

Our planning partners have carefully analyzed enrollment data, boundary maps, and projected growth in the region to develop a proposal that addresses current and future needs. While this proposal represents the Board’s preferred option, we value the insights and perspectives of our community and invite you to provide feedback.

The proposal directly impacts the following school communities – St. Elizabeth Catholic Elementary School, Holy Family Catholic Elementary School and St. Francis of Asissi Catholic Elementary Schools. Under the proposal, the catchment areas of these three schools will be redrawn to move some students to the new Northglen school.
