The Difference

As we expand to include high school, these will be our driving focus. Families are looking to enroll their students at a high school where teachers and staff demonstrate the love of Jesus to their students, and where their students can find a place in which they feel safe and valued. Sarnia Christian School has committed teachers who pour themselves into the lives of their students.

Families desire a high school environment that is loving and caring, where students are encouraged to be curious, to be respectful and to seek knowledge. They desire an environment where these students meet the requirements of an Ontario Secondary School Diploma, are equipped to thrive in post-secondary education, and to discern and grow into who they want to be in the world. We see this school as a gift to the Sarnia-Lambton community, by making a difference in several ways.

 

 

Faith-Integrated Education

High school is an important time of growth and personal development - teens are hard at work asking important questions while watching the world around them. This high school experience will give students opportunities to have agency over their faith and provide foundations within an educational setting for transformational faith development. The central theme that ties everything together is that this is a ‘Jesus school,’ where the love of Jesus is shown through all relationships, regardless of authority structure. Students will continue to learn in a supportive environment where faith and academics go hand in hand.

 

 

Personalized Experience

In order to be well-equipped to accommodate a spectrum of academic achievement capabilities, this high school will proactively customize teaching strategies and techniques to complement individual student learning styles. We believe that learning barriers are not in students, but are rather in the educational environment. Therefore, our academic programs will challenge students of all abilities to aspire to meet their full potential and prepare them for full lives service.

 

 

Service-Oriented Leadership

High school is not only preparation to go out into the world after graduation, but a place to engage and develop and learn today. We view high school education not merely as preparation for exams, but as a means of equipping students with independent life skills and the ability to pursue post-secondary education or vocational opportunities. Our high school students will not just be focused on life after graduation, but will be actively engaged in the local community, meeting the needs of others in a variety of ways. There will be opportunities incorporated into the weekly curriculum that engage our students to meet various needs of other locals in the area.

 

Courses Offered

Sarnia Christian School high school follows the curriculum scope and sequence set by the Ontario Ministry of Education, though the specific content may vary. While we align with the overall guidelines, we may take a different approach with certain lessons.

 

SCS works alongside Edvance Christian Schools, Christian Schools International and other curriculum publishers to provide high-quality resources in all subject areas. Our aim is to meet or exceed the Ministry’s standards, but when addressing topics related to societal norms and practices, we teach from a distinctly Jesus-centered culture and perspective.

 

 

 

 

Road Map to Graduation

Over the next four years, we will be adding one grade per academic school year, growing with our first set of students. As we grow, our

course offerings will grow too! Not only will all compulsory courses meet the requirements of the Ontario Secondary School Diploma for

graduation, but our flexible format allows us to follow the lead of the student’s interests when it comes to both course content and course offerings.
