St. Bede school

As a result of low enrollment, the decision was made in March 2024 to close St. Bede School after having served the Ingleside area since 1958.

During those 66 years, St. Bede School devoted itself to a holistic program of academic excellence for the children who came our way, emphasizing the importance of mind, body and spirit, expanding the faith formation begun in the home in an effort to build the Kingdom of God.

We stand proud knowing that we responded to God’s call embodied in the words of 1 Peter 5:2. “Shepherd the flock of God that is among you exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you, not for shameful gain, but eagerly…and when the Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. “
