History
St. Bede Catholic School was first initially opened in September 1989 located on 36 Sewells road. There had been plans made to reconstruct the school in 1990, the school then re-opened on January 1993 after all the construction. The school is administered by the Toronto Catholic District School Board, there are approximately 330 students that attend the school between JK and Grade 8. Saint Bede also known as Venerable Bede, the name ‘Bede’ is known as ‘prayer bead’. Saint Bede was born on 672 AD in North Umbria north of England, he later died on May 2,735 AD. Saint Bede was a priest, scholar monk and a teacher. From the age of 19 Saint Bede had been ordained deacon, Bede always occupied himself with learning, writing and teaching. To this day Saint Bede has wrote 40 books, which mainly deal with history and theology. The most well known books that Saint Bede has written is "Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis Anglorum" and 'The Ecclesiastical History of the English People' which talks about early British history and Christianity. On May 25th Saint Bede’s feast day is celebrated, on this day we give remembrance to Saint Bede and to all of his accomplishments.

Uniform
Starting September of 2011 the students of St. Bede Catholic School were required to follow a school dress code, the students were expected to be in full uniform as of the first day of school. Many Catholic schools in the Scarborough community had recently requested that the students wear uniform, this was because they wanted to have equality within the students. Having uniforms for all students prevents bullying and negative comments towards any student.

Mission
St. Bede Catholic School has set a mission to provide students with confidence and independence to achieving their goals. One of the goals of the school is to give the students the catholic background so they are aware of the catholic history. To meet the needs of individual students who are in need of guidance the school provides a program where they are able to consult with other staff or even meet with resource workers who are assigned to the school. Their goal is to meet the needs of every student to ensure that they are in a safe and healthy environment.

Student activity
There is a full range of extracurricular activities for students to participate in after school activities such as, musicals, dramas, chess, W5H, homework club and more. There is a wide range of activities where the students are able to be confident and comfortable in what they prefer to do. The Toronto district school board has had the privilege of having student achievement and Christian formation which is supported through generations, from families and the community. St. Bede Catholic School has been able to provide the assistance for children who are disabled either physically or mentally. The school provides staff that are highly trained in giving assistance to the disabled children. Another benefit of the school is they also have a daycare that is run throughout the day, this is a benefit for the community for many reasons such as easy travel.
