Rigorous academics taught through a Christian lens, LCH has been operating for more than a half century, servicing a local community as well, more recently, an international one. The school has grown over the years—it started with just 27 students—though the intention was to remain on the smaller side, ensuring a high level of student engagement across the curriculum. An active and involved parent community is one of the draws, as is the agility of administration to build new programs, including those based in new technologies. Spaces are clear, crisp, and the faculty highly engaged both in and out of the classroom.

What London Christian High says:
At London Christian High, we believe each student has been created on purpose and for a purpose. Our learning program is designed with two key thoughts in mind:
People - We believe that each person has been created uniquely and should be celebrated and developed starting with their God-given interests, talents, and natural gifting.
Purpose - We also believe that our God-given gifts are to be used for a purpose, namely, to serve Christ and others as we seek to make our world a better place.
With these two thoughts in mind, our staff takes a vested interest in the lives of each of our students on an entirely different level. Our school is known to be a safe, caring environment and our school community is founded on solid Christian values. Within this school environment, our students learn and develop in the light of God’s Word and begin to see themselves more deeply as people, equipped to make a difference in the world.
Through this Christian commitment to the world, as we and our students identify needs and injustices in our local and global neighbourhoods, we recognize that there are many ways that we can be of service to others through our learning. Our academic program is both highly challenging and highly supportive. We want our students to wrestle with current issues, which naturally leads towards deeper learning, better understanding and ultimately the development of Godly wisdom for a lifetime of character formation. At the fusion of relevant issues and academic rigour is a curriculum that leads our students outside of the four walls of the classroom and into a world full of God’s grace and opportunity for a life lived to the fullest.
London Christian High offers the Ontario Secondary School Diploma to our graduates. Our school passes an accreditation process every two years to ensure that our graduates are meeting and exceeding the requirements for the Ministry of Education in Ontario. This accreditation allows our students to apply to any post-secondary option that they choose. Our graduates receive annual acceptances in their chosen program to post-secondary institutions across Canada and around the world. Our vision is to help our students begin to recognize and develop their skills, gifts, and abilities to flourish in God’s purpose.
We would be pleased to meet you and get to know you, your child, and your family better. You are always welcome at London Christian High; we count it an honour that we are able to partner with parents like you in the education and formation of your child.
In Christ,
Tim Bentum
Principal
