Welcome to Maryvale Academy of Ottawa

Maryvale Academy is an independent Catholic elementary school located in Ottawa, Ontario.

Our Vision and Hope is...

Students who are given the opportunity to embrace their faith in a true Catholic setting will embark on a life-long journey of learning and living their faith for the greater glory of God and love of neighbor according to the great commandment. (Matthew 22:37)

Maryvale's Mission

Under the protection and guidance of Mary, with parents and the Church, Maryvale Academy seeks to provide an authentic Catholic environment where the great theological virtues of faith, hope, and love are nurtured and developed through the Classical approach to education, allowing students to reach their highest potential in all areas of learning and spiritual growth.
