Queen of Angels Catholic School

Queen of Angels Catholic

School is a faith-based school which has been operating in the Cowichan Valley since 1964. Students in grades K through 9 are taught in a family environment that is academically challenging. We have specialist teachers in French, Music, PE, and Cowichan cultural studies. Each child is encouraged to develop their individual talents in academics, athletics, fine arts, and social responsibility.

Our Catholic traditions of respect, stewardship, social justice, and prayer help students to develop to their full potential. We are determined to be the school of choice in the Cowichan Valley, raising well-rounded students guided by a strong moral conscience. To that end, we provide many opportunities for leadership through liturgical celebrations, helping others, buddy classes, conflict/resolution clubs on the playground, student government, house teams, and community service. We offer a variety of athletic programs such as wrestling, rowing, running club and basketball to name a few. In fine arts, the intermediate students participate in an Artists and Angels program whereby local artists work with our students during January/ February to create amazing projects for a display. Other students develop their musical talents by participating in band, guitar class, or choral classes. Queen of Angels also has many opportunities for using technology. Students have access to laptops or ipads in their classrooms. There are also computers in the library and in the computer lab. Technology is often included in the elective classes for the older grades as well. Other electives include cooking, robotics, bicycle maintenance, hand textiles, electronics, and entrepreneurship. Some highlights for performing at Q of A include the annual Christmas concert held at the local theatre and a Middle School Fine Arts Night. Students participate in public speaking contests both locally and in Victoria. Both Intermediate and Primary classes hold evening celebrations for parents to come and celebrate their child’s progress. We are a busy school. We are a happy school. Queen of Angels is a place where children learn to love and love to learn.
