Parents and guardians have many options when it comes to choosing a school that will be the best fit for their child’s learning journey. St. Timothy’s is a Catholic junior and senior high school that serves students in grades 9 to 12. In addition to Cochrane, the school also accepts students living in Bragg Creek, Bearspaw, Cochrane Lake and basically anywhere west of the Calgary city limits.
Principal David Gowans shares that St. Timothy’s is a school founded on the principles of striving for excellence while remaining grounded in faith.
“This is a tight-knit, faith-filled community where your student will learn all they need to know in order to achieve excellence,” shares Gowans. The school aims to be a community where kindness, respect and high expectations thrive. As such, the school’s dedicated teachers and staff proactively create and maintain a safe and inclusive environment for all students.
Gowans shares that one of the main reasons to choose St. Timothy’s is the small school environment.
“Imagine that your child can walk down the hallways and every teacher and student knows their name? A small school environment allows for teachers and staff to better support your child’s individual needs and provides that feeling of community and belonging.”
Beyond offering outstanding academic programs, St. Timothy’s is also proud of their athletics and fine arts programs.
“If we take a look at our recent surveys, St. Tim's has done excellent in both our PAT and diplomas scores,” says Gowans. “Our fine arts program is second to none- our band program is very active both within the community and through traveling abroad across Western Canada. In sports, I'm sure you've heard, we're excelling right now in basketball. We also had an incredible volleyball season. Our swimming team is amazing, and our wrestlers are doing phenomenal. This success is all a result of our committed teachers who dedicate many hours and offer incredible coaching experiences for all our athletes.”
St. Timothy is already looking ahead to the upcoming school year with registrations for the 2025-2026 year beginning to pour in online
“We’re taking registrations right now,” Gowans states. “You can call the school and book an appointment with me. I look forward to sitting down with any family that is considering St. Timothy for their child.”
