The academic program is proven and strong, though the families that enrol are drawn particularly by the values that underwrite the delivery of the curriculum. The school has a much longer history in the region that the building itself suggests. While the current location was completed in 2010, the school was founded in 1958, receiving provincial charter in 1966. The school has grown over the years, adapting to new forms of instruction as any school of similar pedigree would, while remaining true to the initial mandate to recognize and encourage the diversity of talents and abilities within the student body.

Students arrive from a wide catchment area, joining others of similar academic aspirations while growing their understanding of Christ’s purpose.
