Jean Vanier Catholic Secondary School (JVCSS), simply Jean Vanier or Vanier is a Roman Catholic high school, part of the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB), in the Eglinton East neighbourhood of Scarborough in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The school was opened as Tabor Park Vocational School (1964-1986) by the Scarborough Board of Education and later owned by the Toronto District School Board, after which the building was leased to the TCDSB in 1989.
The school is named after Jean Vanier, the founder of L'Arche in 1964. The school is informally known as New Tabor Park to avoid confusion with Georges Vanier Secondary School and is also sometimes referred to as the Maverick Ranch, a type of unbranded horse. The school educates 996 students as of the 2014-15 academic year and it is ranked 331 out of 725 schools in the Fraser Institute report card. Its motto is "Through Knowledge Toward God".
To love someone is to show to them their beauty, their worth and their importance.
Jean Vanier was born on September 10, 1928. He is the founder of L'Arche, an international organization which creates communities where people with developmental disabilities and those who assist them share life together. He is the son of the 19th Governor General of Canada, Major-General Georges Vanier. In his youth and during World War II he served with the Royal Navy and then with the Royal Canadian Navy. As a midshipman, Vanier accompanied the Royal Family on their tour of South Africa aboard HMS Vanguard in 1947.
