www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver Weekend, Saturday January 19, 2008 - 11 Christian high school receives CHI accreditation John Knox Christian School (JKCS) has been accredited by the Canadian Hallmark Institute (CHI), an organization geared at establishing public standards for independent schools. "The accreditation process took about a year and a half to complete and began with an internal audit called the School Quality Assurance Program (SQAP)," said principal John Lunshof. The School Quality Assurance Program (SQAP) is overseen by the Ontario Alliance of Christian Schools of which John Knox is a member. SQAP ensures that each school in the alliance meets the stanand community relations. Auditors from CHI spent two days in the school reviewing policies and procedures, interviewing staff, and making sure that John Knox meets all the standards for a good school. The accreditation is effective for six years with an annual review to "make sure we're keeping our act together," said Lunshof. "The entire process has provided the school with a base line for future development and improvement. In six years we will go through the process again and continue improving the excellent education this school provides," said Lunshof. For information about JKCS visit www.jkcs-oakville.org.
