Our students are motivated and challenged with a wide range of academic as well as extra-curricular activities and approach them all with enduring smiles and enthusiasm. At the end of each school day, it is not unusual for our students to tell their parents that they are not ready to go home yet. Parents are astonished that their children do not want to go home, but leave the school with the fulfilment that they have found the right school for their children.

One of the hardest questions for today's Christian families to answer is, how to raise children to fully grasp the true meaning of Christianity. Being involved in a vibrant church community and spending time with parents is certainly an important part of that answer, but at John Knox Christian School (JKCS) in Oakville we feel the best answer is a combination of a Christian environment at home, at church and at school - especially in a child's formative years. At best, children only are only able to spend a few hours a week involved in either church programs or with parents discussing issues of faith in God. The rest of the time is devoted to homework, activities and other responsibilities of student life. At JKCS, we care deeply about each child's spiritual, character and academic development.
