About Us

St. Carthagh Catholic School Mission Statement

Together is Better! We are a Catholic school community working together with our parish and home communities to share our Gospel values and model the love of Jesus Christ. Student voice, community support, staff collaboration and a positive growth mindset are some of the key factors in creating a safe and welcoming place for all. We are committed to excellence in Catholic education and truly believe that together, we can achieve more.

Welcome to St. Carthagh Catholic School! We are part of a wonderful community in the village of Tweed! We take pride in the fact that we are a Catholic school, and are blessed by the strong connection between home, school, and parish. We have approximately 130 students from JK-Grade 8.

Positive School Climate and Well-Being

The ALCDSB is dedicated to creating and promoting positive school climate and well-being in all of our schools. Respecting the dignity of all persons by fostering trusting relationships through policies and practices that promote equity, inclusion and diversity are at the core of our Catholic values, the Board's spiritual theme of Faith in Action and our provincial Catholic Graduate Expectations. A positive school climate is directly linked to student success and well-being ensuring students are motivated to do well and will realize their full potential. We are committed to sustaining healthy and nurturing communities of belonging that are safe, caring and respectful and built on the principles of restorative practice and progressive discipline.

The ALCDSB and its school communities engage in a whole school approach in putting prevention and intervention strategies in place to facilitate a positive relationship between students, staff, parents and community partners.
