Ward advocated excellent education for young women, which has always formed part of the ethos of Loretto schools.

In 1927, the school moved to its current home (leaving Loretta Abbey to Jesuit seminary), a Collegiate Gothic Tudor style building on Mason Boulevard[1] by architects Findlay and Foulis.

In 1967, at the request of the Ontario Bishops, students in Grades 9 and 10 were placed under the Metropolitan Separate School Board and no longer had to pay tuition.

In 2011, the Loretto Sisters agreed to a sale of the entire Abbey to the TCDSB, with the exception of the infirmary, and this will greatly increase the space available for classrooms and other facilities.

[4] Toronto City Council intends to designate the lands and buildings known municipally as 101 Mason Boulevard (Loretto Abbey), under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

The school has access to the Chapel in the Abbey, a pool, a gymnasium, computer facilities, a library, a 300-seat auditorium, a courtyard, a prayer garden and grotto, and a playing field.

[citation needed] Loretto Abbey offers a wide range of service, social, and athletic activities to develop students to their full potential.

Some annual traditions at Loretto include: Mother & Daughter Tea, Loretto Abbey Film Festival, Christmas Baskets, International Picnic, Multicultural Night, Father and Daughter Barbecue, Academic Awards Night, March Break Trips (International), Semi-Formal, Spring Concert, Annual Drama Production and many more.
