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 now 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, truth and
virtue. Our commitment to nurturing each child’s spiritual development goes hand in hand with our
dedication to prepare our students to build bridges across differences and to embody God’s love and
peace in an increasingly interconnected world.
