Why You’ll Love It Here
What We Value
PCS is a Christ-centred, multi-denominational, multi-ethnical education community. In partnership with the Christian home and church, we seek to to glorify God in all aspects of life. Guided by the Holy Spirit, we explore God’s world through biblical truth and recognize each child’s unique potential.
Our vision is to glorify our Lord Jesus Christ by honouring students – by providing educational tools, methods, and surroundings to equip them to be all that God created them to be. We welcome students and families from all walks of life as long as they respect and support the school’s mission, vision and values.
What Makes Us Unique
Our school is rooted in the Lordship of Jesus Christ and values the interconnectedness of all subjects. Building strong, caring relationships among students, staff and families is central to our approach.
As a K–12 school, we follow B.C. Ministry of Education standards in the various curricula we teach to our students.
