How Woodland Christian High School sees itself

The school administration answered our questions

Who are you, as a school?

"Woodland is a vibrant community of learning where students are equipped for lives of Christian faith and service. Each student's abilities and interests are encouraged. Students come from Kitchener/Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, Drayton, Listowel and surrounding areas (including international students). Students receive an excellent education which prepares them well for university and/or college. Students receive opportunities in varsity sports, music, drama, and international service trips."

  • Competitive Sports Programs
  • Provincially Recognized Music Programs
  • International Robotics Participation
  • Choir and Drama Productions
  • International Student Programs including Course Integration and Multicultural Clubs
  • A variety of co-curricular activities
  • Transportation to and from school including After School Activity Busing
  • Strong Academic Support and Differential Learning Programs
  • Active Student Government and Student Leadership Programs
  • Experiential Learning Trips including Theatre, Outdoor Education, International & Service Trips

What do you do differently and uniquely well?

"At Woodland, we strive to enfold students into a learning community that engages the minds and hearts of young people, equipping them for lives of Christian faith and service. Our students graduate with competence, but also creativity, character, and compassion rooted in a Christian worldview."

To your knowledge, why do families choose your school over others?

"Students graduate with the essential components of the OSSD but are also granted the Woodland Diploma that ensures they have been trained and educated holistically. Rather than focusing on program-specific outcomes, (ex. an arts school, a math school, a science school, a tech school, a sports school, etc. ) a Woodland education offers a balanced and enriched course of study that ensures that students are equipped in all areas of life."

What aspect of your school is underappreciated?

"Our graduate profile: although the outcomes of a Woodland education are clearly stated and demonstrated during the entrance interview, parents tend to under-appreciate that their students are intentionally taught and guided to become people of Competence, Character, Creativity, and Compassion with a Christian Worldview."

What might families find surprising about your school?

"At Woodland, families are often surprised to find a community of like-minded parents and students with a common faith but many denominations and perspectives."

Message from school leadership

John Van Pelt, Principal; COO

Welcome to Woodland Christian High School. For over 44 years Woodland has offered an excellent academic program that seeks to integrate learning and the Christian faith. As an alumnus of Woodland and now as the principal I have seen how an education that aims to equip our students for lives of Christian faith and service can benefit individuals, church communities, and the broader civic community. I encourage you to take a few minutes to explore our website to become familiar with the diverse curricular and co-curricular programs that we have developed to meet the needs of our students. If you have any questions about our school please feel free to contact me.
