Curriculum & Student Services
Graduating students face many choices and opportunities. While our academic curriculum is firmly based on the British Columbia system, the wider curriculum includes creative arts, applied skills and media technology, as well as leadership and service opportunities. Chapels, class devotionals, sports teams and peer tutoring also prepare students for the ‘world after school’.
To maximize a wider range of opportunities for students, we encourage all students to perform to the best of their ability and provide a rigorous academic program within a caring, Christian environment. Dedicated and professional Christian teachers work together with the students to give every opportunity for success and also prepare them for the challenges of the future.
King's Christian School - The Starting Place for Graduation
King’s Christian School is a Group 1 Independent School that fulfills the Ministry of Education requirements for Independent Schools in British Columbia.
KCS is fully certified in the delivery of educational programs that will meet or exceed the course requirements to receive the Provincial Dogwood Diploma.
Teachers
All KCS teachers understand the value of relationships with students and working in a collaborative culture with parents and fellow teachers. We believe that all students can learn at optimum levels if given enough time and support. Furthermore, we value the way that God has created each student differently and we work hard to vary our teaching methods accordingly.
All KCS teachers are certified to teach in the province of British Columbia. They are dedicated Christians, committed to the teaching profession and to helping all students mature in their academic skills, social skills, physical abilities and Christian lifestyle.
Curriculum
KCS offers three levels of education within one dynamic school. King’s Christian Preschool offers preschool programming for 3 and 4 year-old children. The Elementary program at KCS includes Kindergarten to Grade 7 students. Our High School program consists of Grades 8-12 students.
All KCS teachers have been trained to offer transformational Christian Education through the Teaching for Transformation curricular framework.
Teaching for Transformation is a curricu
lar framework that provides teachers with a template to develop a unit from a Christian perspective. This framework is designed for the development of authentic and integral Christian learning experiences that are grounded in a transformational worldview with a focus on the Biblical story.
The Ministry of Education has developed new curriculum for K-12 students in British Columbia and KCS is required, as a Group 1 Independent School, to follow these curriculum requirements. The New curriculum for Grades K-7 students was implemented in 2016 and the new curriculum will be implemented for Grades 8-12 students in 2018.

Academic Advisory & Grad Transition
Graduating students face many choices and decisions. At KCS, we strive to support students as they navigate their final years in High School and prepare them for the opportunities that await them after the graduate.
The Ministry of Education has created a graduation handbook with detailed information regarding the graduation program in BC.
Our Student Services Advisor is available to assist students as they choose their High School courses, ensure that all graduation requirements are met to achieve a Dogwood Diploma, and offer suggestions as they make decisions about post-secondary education.
