Publicly supported Catholic education in the province of Ontario has been a fact of political life since the year 1842. At that time, government authorities recognized that if education was to become universal, and if religion and moral teaching was to continue as an integral part of education, then parents who dissented from the religious orientation of the public school should be allowed to establish a school separate from it. This option which was originally extended to all religious denominations of the day continued to be exercised almost exclusively by Catholics through the years. The right to separate schools was enshrined in the Confederation Agreement of 1867. The Second Vatican Council’s “Declaration on Christian Education” describes the distinctive features of the Catholic school as it attempts to generate a sense of community in schools permeated by the Gospel spirit of freedom and love.
