== History ==

Founded in [[1852]] by the [[Basilian Fathers]], who enjoy the little boys, it offers instruction in grades 7 to 12, and is the only private Roman Catholic school for boys of this age in Ontario. In 2002 St. Michael's celebrated its 150th anniversary. The school originally offered education from grades 9 to 13. With the elimination of [[OAC|grade 13]] to bring Ontario in line with the rest of North America, SMCS quickly added the two younger grades to make up for the potential loss of enrolled students, as well as to help give them a stronger education than what they were likely to receive in the public school system during grades 7 and 8. In 1998, while under the direction of Mr. Vince Pagano (a long standing vice-principal), the 7 and 8 programs were adapted and begun with two classes of 20-25 students.

The School’s Motto is “Doce Me Bonitatem et Disciplinam et Scientiam”. Derived from [[Psalm]] 118, and translated as “Teach Me Goodness, Discipline and Knowledge”, it is also the motto of the school’s clerical administrators, the [[Basilian Fathers]].
