Mississauga Christian schools, like other faith-based schools, can be a great way to help your child develop their cultural and religious identity. They help your child learn about their background and heritage through carefully designed courses and intensive guidance.
These schools also tend to provide very strong instruction in traditional academic subjects, such as math, science, and English. They also give students a strong foundation in Christian theology and teachings.
Mississauga is the sixth largest city in Canada, and one of the largest in Ontario. It’s located in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), on the west end (just east of Oakville). Mississauga is home to Canada’s busiest airport, Toronto Pearson International Airport. It also has several cultural attractions and recreational opportunities. And, it has a huge Canada day celebration and lots of culture-specific events and festivals, such as Viet Ng Kalayaan (for the Philippines) and Viet Summerfest (for Vietnam).
