School is back in session at Abbotsford Christian School for our 60th year. What started in 1953 as a class of 90 grade 1-7 students in the basement of a church, has grown to include pre-school, middle and secondary students, and has sent out more than 3,000 outstanding young adults into our local community and beyond. We want to say thank you for entrusting us with the education of your children and we look forward to what the future holds. Please join us in our celebration while we look back at our heritage and forward to our future.

Although receiving recognition for it, high academic achievement is one measure of success for our children, but it is far from the only one. Every student is different, and success looks different in every case. We take into account the entire person, helpingthem to develop a firm Christian worldview, and equipping them to help shape God’s world. All students are accepted, valued and encouraged at ACS, and as a result, they flourish. We call this Whole Person Development and we believe it prepares students for real life.

> Two campuses that serve pre-school to Grade 12
