  • Curriculum Progressive
    [Show definition of Curriculum]

    Central to your child's school experience is the underlying curriculum taught in the classroom. "Curriculum" refers to both what is taught and how it's taught. When considering the different curricula outlined in the next few pages, keep in mind that few schools fall neatly into one category or another. Most schools' curricula comprise a blend of best practices drawn from multiple curriculum types. Having said that, most schools do have a general overall curriculum type. These are identified for each school on OurKids.net.

    Curriculum approach at London Christian High: Progressive

    London Christian High has a Progressive approach to Curriculum (as opposed to Traditional, Liberal Arts, Montessori, Reggio Emilia, Waldorf approach).

    [Show: About Progressive?]

    Progressive (sometimes called "in- quiry-based") curricula attempt to place children's interests and ideas at the heart of the learning experience. Instead of lessons being driven by predetermined pathways, progressive curricula are often "emergent", with learning activities shaped by students' questions about the world. Instead of starting with academic concepts and then tying it to everyday experience, progressive methods begin with everyday experience and work back to an academic lesson. Teachers provide materials, experiences, tools and resources to help students investigate a topic or issue. Students are encouraged to explore, reflect on their findings, and discuss answers or solutions.

    • Mathematics Traditional Math
      Mathematics approach at London Christian High: Traditional Math

      London Christian High has a Traditional Math approach to Mathematics (as opposed to Discovery Math , Equal Balance approach).

      [Show: About Traditional Math?]

      Traditional Math typically teaches a method or algorithm FIRST, and THEN teaches the applications for the method. Traditional algorithms are emphasized and practiced regularly: repetition and drills are frequently used to ensure foundational mastery in the underlying mathematical procedures. The traditional approach to math views math education as akin to building a logical edifice: each brick depends on the support of the previously laid ones, which represent mastery over a particular procedure or method. Traditional Math begins by giving students a tool, and then challenges students to practice using that tool an applied way, with progressively challenging problems. In this sense Traditional Math aims to establish procedural understanding before conceptual and applied understanding.

    London Christian High has a Standard-enriched approach to Curriculum Pace (as opposed to Accelerated, Student-paced approach).

    [Show: About Standard-enriched?]

    Broadly-speaking, the main curriculum -- like that of most schools -- paces the provincially-outlined one. This pace is steady and set by the teachers and school. The curriculum might still be enriched in various ways: covering topics more in-depth and with more vigor than the provincial one, or covering a broader selection of topics.

  • Academic Culture Rigorous
    [Show definition of Academic Culture]

    Through the collective mindset of teachers, administrators, students, and parents, each school develops and maintains its own academic culture. This generally relates to the norms and expectations created around academic performance. Many parents look to private schools because they want a specific type of culture. Some want a rigorous environment that will elevate their child to new heights. Others want a nurturing environment that will help their child develop a passion for learning.

    ---

    Academic Culture approach at London Christian High: Rigorous

    London Christian High has a Rigorous approach to Academic Culture (as opposed to Supportive approach).

    [Show: About Rigorous?]

    A school with a “rigorous” academic culture places a high value on academic performance, and expects their students to do the same. This does not mean the school is uncaring, unsupportive, or non-responsive -- far from it. A school can have a rigorous academic culture and still provide excellent individual support. It does mean, however, the school places a particular emphasis on performance -- seeking the best students and challenging them to the fullest extent -- relative to a normal baseline. High expectations and standards – and a challenging yet rewarding curriculum – are the common themes here. Keep in mind this classification is more relevant for the older grades: few Kindergarten classrooms, for example, would be called “rigorous”.

      Rigorous - 50%
      Supportive - 50%
    

    What London Christian High says: London Christian High is an environment of high challenge AND high support. We exist to celebrate and develop each individual student as they were created and point them towards a deeper sense of purpose in their lives. It is our goal to see all of our students, regardless of academic ability, flourish in their lives.

  • Developmental priorities Spiritual
    [Show definition of Developmental priorities]

    Schools have specific goals regarding how they want their educate and develop their students. This is part of a school's overall philosophy or vision, which is contained in its mission statement. While they tend have several developmental aims, schools tend to priortize certain aims, such as intellectual, social, spiritual, emotional, or physical development.

    ---

    Primary Developmental Priority: Spiritual

    The goal is to cultivate "individuals with inner resourcefulness, strong faith and respect for God or a higher power."

    Secondary Developmental Priority: Balanced

    "Equal emphasis is placed on a balance of priorities: intellectual, emotional, social and physical cultivation."

  • Special needs support Full-time Dedicated Class
    [Show definition of Special needs support]

    Schools offer a wide range of approaches and services to support students with special needs. This may include individualized learning, one-on-one support, small classes, resource rooms, and learning aids. These supports may be provided in a number of different environments such as a dedicated special needs school or class, an integrated class, a withdrawal class, or a regular class with resource support or in-class adaptations.

    ---

    London Christian High offers Full-time Dedicated Class

    Students are placed in a separate special education class.

    What London Christian High says about their special need support: If a student continues to experience difficulties in the classroom despite interventions from the teacher and educational assistants, the teacher speaks with the Learning Commons (LC) to discuss a Special Education Referral. The LC leader notifies the Vice-Principal of Program as to whether further assessment is being recommended. The LC leader arranges a conference with parents at their discretion to discuss concerns. If needed, parents may be asked to arrange for educational or psychological testing for their child or are referred to other agencies or therapists for assessments. If exceptionalities are indicated during admissions, internal assessments and external observations will be undertaken prior to enrollment to determine whether LCH is equipped to enable that child to develop their gifts.

    Summary: Our Learning Commons team of educational assistants provide support to students with IEPs as well as students without IEPs, normalizing the need for assistance both in the classroom and in the Learning Commons. The Learning Commons is a place in the school where all students come for extra support with their projects, homework, and test writing. We offer a Learning Strategies course in grade 9 (GLE10 in the Ontario Curriculum) to assist students of all ability levels to acquire skills to succeed in high school, but it is particularly valuable to our grade 9 students with IEPs. All courses taught at LCH can be accommodated.

  • Gifted learner support No Support
    [Show definition of Gifted learner support]

    Schools support students with gifted or advanced learning abilities in a several ways. Whether they offer a full-time gifted program or part-time support, they normally provide some form of accelerated learning (delivering content at a faster pace) or enrichment (covering content more broadly or deeply). Many schools also offer a wide range of in-class adaptations to support advanced learners, such as guided independent studies, project-based learning, and career exploration.

  • Homework Policy
    [Show definition of Homework Policy]

    Homework is work that's assigned to students for completion outside of regular class time. There's a long-standing debate over homework. Should homework be assigned to school-age children? If so, in what grades? And how much homework should be assigned? In selecting the right school for your child, it's important to look closely at a school's homework policy.

    ---

    In grade Gr. 12, London Christian High students perform an average of 30 mins of homework per night.

  • Report Card Policy
    [Show definition of Report Card Policy]

    While all schools measure individual progress and achievement in students, they have different ways of doing this. For instance, many traditional schools gauge progress through report cards, which give students lettered or numbered grades. Other schools, meanwhile, measure progress in other ways, either in addition to or instead of giving grades. For instance, they may offer prose-based feedback (i.e, comments), academic achievement reporting, habits and behaviour reporting, and parent-teacher meetings. In choosing the right school for your child, take a close look at its policy for measuring the individual progress of students.

• Extracurriculars

  [Show definition of Extracurriculars]

  While academics remain the priority for most private schools, many also place a strong focus on a well-rounded education and encourage participation in extracurricular activities such as sports, music, arts, or clubs. Involvement in extracurriculars helps stimulate students in their studies, makes them more motivated to learn, and can make school more enjoyable and fulfilling. Extracurricular activities can also provide students with a much-needed break from the stresses of academics, while helping them to develop skills and allowing them to take part in valuable social situations.

• Tuition & Financial Aid

  [Show definition of Tuition & Financial Aid]

  This can depend on a number of factors, including the type of school, living arrangements, what’s included in tuition, school location, resources, and facilities. Many private schools in Canada have tuition that ranges between $6,000 and $12,000 a year. While some schools, such as schools which provide room and board, can be more expensive, many of these schools provide ways to defray the costs of tuition. For instance, they may offer merit-based scholarships or needs-based financial aid (often referred to as “bursaries” or “subsidies”).

• Enrollment

  [Show definition of enrolment]

  Private schools come in all shapes and sizes. Some larger schools have enrolment numbers in the thousands, while some smaller schools have only a few dozen students. Boarding schools tend to be on the larger side, while alternative schools, such as Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and Waldorf, are normally smaller. Besides the overall size of school, there are other important facts you’ll want to know about a school’s enrolment. For instance, here you can learn about a school’s enrolment for separate streams (if they have them), such as day and boarding, its average class size, and its average enrolment per grade.

• Admission

  [Show definition of Admission]

  Private schools in Canada have admissions policies. All schools have some required application materials, though these vary between schools. These may include letters of application, application fees, essays, and exams (such as the SSAT). Many schools also require interviews with prospective students, either with their parents, on their own, or both. Schools also have different standards and priorities when evaluating student applications, different acceptance rates (which may vary between grade levels), and target different kinds of students. To improve your child’s chances of acceptance, you should find out everything you can about a school’s admissions policies and how they assess applicants.

• Principal's Message

  Tim Bentum, Principal

  B.A., B.Ed., M.Ed.

  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
