Christian Life School

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT HERE

Christian Life School is a fantastic place for both new and experienced teachers. We love working with creative teaching ideas, value constant feedback and provide a tight-knit educational family. Class sizes are small – generally between 12 and 18 students – which means less marking and more opportunities to work directly with students. Teachers are also supported by EAs in various settings.

Our teachers have constant opportunities for professional growth, ranging from development days to leading and running school projects that interest the individual gifts and background of the teacher.

One of the great blessings of working at Christian Life School is the opportunity to live out your faith and to allow your faith to be part of your daily teaching.

Vision:

Centered on Christ, we see Christian Life School as a lighthouse in the community, which attracts students and teaches them to be salt in the world.

School community

As a Christian school, concepts are presented from a Biblical point-of-view when appropriate. Morning devotions, Bible classes and chapel are classified as locally developed courses. We attempt to include local pastors as well as ministries that come to our community and Christians willing to share with our students and staff during these times. French is taught in grades five through eight.

Christian Life School is a caring and safe haven that strives to disciple and educate students in a Christian worldview. Our small class sizes offer more opportunities for teacher involvement and strong student engagement. Teachers provide opportunities for both student-centred learning and teacher-directed learning. At Christian Life School we recognize that balance and flexibility in instruction are necessary for helping students across the learning spectrum.
