ACADEMICS AND CURRICULUM
At Knox Christian School, we believe that every child is special because God made them. Our goal is to help students realize this as well. That’s why we have a variety of programs from special needs to enrichment to ensure that each child gets the maximum out of their Knox experience.
At Knox Christian School students learn that the world belongs to God. The curriculum follows the guidelines set out by the Ontario Ministry of Education and the Ontario Alliance of Christian Schools. It helps students understand the world around them and evaluate the culture, responding as disciples of Christ. As Christian educators we are called to “train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not turn from it”. (Prov. 22:6)

STUDENT TESTING

It is used each year to inform our staff, measure student growth, and evaluate our programs.
