History and Founding of Mater Boni Consilii Academy
In 2010 God instilled in us the desire to open and operate a private school that includes Catholic teachings in accordance with the Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church, in the Halton area. This manifested with a simple desire to preserve the integral Catholic formation of our children. When two of us joined in prayer to discern our role in doing this, the need for an alternative option for Catholic families in Halton, quickly became apparent. We want our children, and children in other Catholic families to have the option to attain a valuable education not only in academics, but an education that demands excellence in their integral development. In taking a holistic approach to education and forming the whole person steeped in Catholic values. The development team has grown from three moms, to a group of seven professionals who are working diligently and praying with a steadfast faith. Holding on to the scripture verse from Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the assurance that what we hope for will come about and the certainty that what we cannot see exists.” We have taken on this project knowing that Christ will inspire supporters and benefactors to fund this project. Our Mother of Good Counsel (Mater Boni Consilii – in Latin) has been our gentle and humble partner throughout the discernment and development of this project. This project was born in Our Lady’s heart and rests in the heart of three Catholic women who are wives, mothers and educators. This project started with prayer and we continue to entrust it to the heart of our Blessed Mother and pray it is continually guided by Christ.
