Chaminade College School (CCS, Chaminade) is an all-boys Catholic secondary school in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

History

Founded by the Archdiocese of Toronto, Chaminade College School opened its doors in September 1965. Initially under the control of the Society of Mary (the Marianists), the school was named for the Society's founder, Father William Joseph Chaminade.

The mandate of the school was to prepare young men for post-secondary education in a traditional Catholic secondary school environment. The school's motto "Fortes in fide" emphasizes the importance of the virtue of faith in the life of the Catholic school.

In 1967, Chaminade began a partnership with the Metropolitan Separate School Board (now Toronto Catholic District School Board). In this partnership, the Board conducted the first two years of secondary school, and the Archdiocese conducted the remaining three years. In September 1972, the Irish Christian Brothers took over administration of the school, until their departure in June 1988. The school is currently administered entirely by the TCDSB after funding was expanded while the religious identity of the school was preserved.

The school won a Green Toronto award in 2007 for its pioneering efforts in establishing the Adopt a Stream project that became a citywide model for waterway cleanup.[1] In 2008, students circulated a petition which resulted in the Province of Ontario outlawing smoking in automobiles when children are passengers.[2]

Chaminade is also known for its athletic achievements with former Gryphons Tevaun Smith and James Bodanis moving on to play football in the NCAA and the CFL. The school is also home to several chess masters such as Vietnamese child prodigies Hoàng Nguyên and Henry Vu as well as Filipino child prodigy Jeric Palima.

Nadia Pasquini, a veteran teacher at Chaminade, received the Prime Minister's Award for Teaching Excellence for the 2016–2017 school year. Pasquini's feats include fundraising over $24,000 for the Free the Children organization as well as partnering with the Working Against Violence Everyday group to raise awareness about screen addiction.[3]
