Burkevale Protestant Separate School is Ontario’s last remaining Protestant separate school and is the only school in the Penetanguishene Protestant Separate School Board. It is located in Penetanguishene on the corner of Peel and Burke Streets. The original two story, red brick building was built in the year 1882 for a cost of $3500. A two story addition was added in 1909-1910. The building was torn down in June 1965 to make way for the current Burkevale Protestant Separate School.

The current school has a population of 348 students in classes from kindergarten to grade 8 and a staff of 44 (2022). The school’s mascot is a bulldog and its motto is “Striving for Excellence”. The school is well-known for its state of the art education, technology, full music program, and great athletic teams. The current principal is Mrs. Julia McLaren.

Read the Code of Conduct and Student Expectations.

We offer a range of sports, clubs and activities at our school. Come be a part of the fun!

To improve student achievement and enhance the accountability of the education system.

Volunteering to help students is one of the most fulfilling ways to be part of your community.

Sports and extracurricular activities are continuing in the upcoming school year. Cross country running will be the first sporting event to begin. Information for interested students will come out by the end of week one.

At Burkevale Protestant Separate School, we believe that students are entitled to a safe, secure and stimulating learning environment, where respect for self, others and the environment is as important as academic learning. An important goal of the school is to help students develop self-discipline and social skills so that they can become productive, mature and responsible members of society.

We are excited to invite you and your child to attend a Kindergarten evening at Burkevale School to support their successful transition. The evening will be filled with activities and information for everyone.
