Grade 5

Imagine what a classroom would look and sound like if students were actively engaged in inquiry work; where students read, questioned, analyzed and created products based on compelling questions and topics. Imagine the harmonious culture of a school if teachers invested in the development of the whole child and fostered a real love for Jesus. Well, that is exactly what one will find inside the elementary classrooms of Grace Christian School! Grace Christian School is a school that strives for excellence. In partnering with parents, their aim is to enhance and enrich the learning that children are already engaged in at home and in other aspects of their lives. They seek to provide opportunities for students to discover their purpose in an engaging and exciting environment that teaches Christ centred values and equips students for all aspects of their future as contributing members of society.
