Our School

Immaculate Conception is a Catholic elementary school of approximately 300 students located in Val Caron, a growing community about 20 minutes north of Sudbury. At present, a continuum of learning is offered from JK to Grade 6 in two possible programs – Regular English and French Immersion. Students are directed to St. Anne Catholic School in Hanmer for Grades 7 & 8 or Marymount Academy (for girls only) for Grades 7 to 12. Bishop Alexander Carter is the Catholic Secondary School our students attend beyond Grade 8. Students who have been identified through IPRC (Identification Placement Review Committee) process are able to access a Multi-grade setting to meet their needs.

A learning environment where Catholic values, teachings and beliefs form an integral part of daily life is easily observable at the school. Father Pat Woods from St. Kevin’s Parish provide wonderful support to our school community. Mass is celebrated at the school as well as at the church and numerous liturgical celebrations are provided to our school community throughout the year.
