The Bigger Picture

 

We, at Woodstock Christian School, are part of the bigger picture of education. There are times when we focus on our school and our particular joys and challenges. The annual Christian Educators' convention helps to provide perspective and is a wonderful reminder that we are part of something bigger. We are part of the education system in Ontario - the independent schools sector. We are part of a larger community of provincial and national Christian schools. We are part of God's family and His story, partnering with parents to raise children who will learn how God has gifted them and how they can use their gifts and skills as citizens and in service to their communities.

Did you know that more than one quarter of independent school enrolment in the province of Ontario is in Christian schools? The Edvance group of schools represents 75 schools in Ontario & the eastern provinces which contribute an enormous service to the population. As Christian independent schools, we are in a unique position to collaborate with our families. We are blessed to be able to unfold the beautiful story of Christ. God has called us to be people and schools which show and build character, competence, and courage. We are part of God's bigger picture - part of His story - as we learn and serve in our communities.
