"Just tell them God is here." That was the answer a Grade 1 student gave when he was asked why parents would want to send their children to Calgary Christian School.
Seeing God in everything is exactly what we want our families to experience as we continue to integrate faith and learning and express our distinctiveness, vitality and character as an Alternative Program within the Palliser School Division after 45 years as an independent school.
With the support of the home and the encouragement of the church, Calgary Christian School strives to provide a safe, nurturing learning environment where faith is integrated into every facet of education to guide students as they develop their gifts.
In 1954, a group of parents formed the Calgary Society for Christian Education, which led to the opening of Calgary Christian School (CCS) in 1963.
Thanks to their prayers, leadership and vision, Calgary Christian School today offers classes from Preschool to Grade 12 to more than 700 students, representing families from more than 90 denominationally diverse churches.
Our students are encouraged to live out our vision of "God's Children Making the World a Better Place" in a variety of ways. Whether in cross-graded groups at the Elementary Campus where students work and learn together, or the High School Leadership and Construction classes serving in Belize, Central America, students are shown that they can personally live out their faith and make a difference in their school, their communities and their world.
We are dedicated to providing our students with the experiences and tools they need to produce outstanding academic outcomes in every discipline we teach, and to continually encourage our students to strive for their personal best in everything they do.
Excellence at Calgary Christian is about developing the whole person. Our programming is based on the Five Pillars of Excellence - intellectual, artistic, emotional, social and physical - each of these pillars is infused with our intentional integration of faith.
