TLA was founded in 1991 as an independent school in the Catholic tradition, but was officially designated as a Catholic School in 2020 by Vancouver’s Archbishop John Michael Miller, CSB. We are an associate member of the Catholic Schools of Vancouver Archdiocese, joining the other five associate member schools in the CISVA. Our school is served by chaplains from Holy Family Parish, the Traditional Mass parish run by the Fraternity of St. Peter in Vancouver. School chaplains visit the school weekly to hear Confessions, offer Holy Mass in the Traditional Rite, provide Adoration and Benediction, carry out classroom visits, and join in other activities with our students.
While rooted in Catholic values, our school warmly welcomes families and students of all faiths and backgrounds. We believe that our diverse community enriches the spiritual journey for everyone, creating a respectful environment where all are encouraged to explore questions of faith, kindness, and purpose. Our commitment to nurturing each child’s spiritual development goes hand in hand with our dedication to inclusivity and respect for different beliefs. We celebrate the shared values of compassion, peace, and service that connect us all, fostering an environment where every student feels valued and loved. By embracing this diversity, we prepare our students to build bridges across differences and to embody God’s love and peace in an increasingly interconnected world.
