Alternative Learning

Niagara Catholic offers alternative learning to students at  Pope Francis School, formerly St. Charles Catholic Elementary School in Thorold. 

Pope Francis School supports students who do not thrive in a traditional classroom setting. It is also home to our program for students who are young parents and want to finish their high school education. The program runs in cooperation with Strive Niagara and provides childcare to students on-site while they are finishing their education. 

The Pope Francis Centre is also home to St. Kateri School, which provides specialized education to self-identified Indigenous students. 

For information, please contact your child's principal or 905.735.0240.
