ABOUT
St. John Paul II is a school community, located in the beautiful Alberni Valley. Carved by glaciers, sheltered by mountains, the Alberni Valley is a remarkable ecosystem, protected by a number of communities working together and enjoying this amazing space. Discover old growth forest and west coast beaches, waterfalls and mountain views, to kiteboarding and mountain biking, to hiking and camping. We have so much to offer! Our quaint little school, encourages students to seek excellence in everything they do; in all aspects of their lives. We always seek continuous improvement and strive to be our “best selves.” St. John Paul II Catholic School is a diverse and inclusive faith-based learning community rooted in Scripture and the traditions of the Church. Our mission is to provide a safe and loving environment, which enables each child to develop spiritually, emotionally, socially, physically, intellectually, and artistically. We are called to celebrate and nurture the God-given talents of each student as we serve with excellence in the light of Christ.

“St. John Paul II is ‘the little school that could.' It is a special place that has been built on relationships, dedication, and faith. Situated in the tight-knit ‘small-town' community of Port Alberni, the school has been blessed with a dynamic and caring faculty, a supportive and active parent community, and a joyful and engaged student body. Framed by the beauty of Mt. Arrowsmith and the Beaufort Range, St. John Paul II is surrounded by many of the wonders of God's Creation as lakes, rivers, forests, trails, and beaches are all readily accessible. St. John Paul II is an integral part of its community and to Island Catholics Schools as a whole and I feel most fortunate to be a contributing member and, as such, privy to the wonderful opportunities the school and community provide.” - Toban, Grade 3/4
