Picture of Grande Prairie Christian School

We are a Christian school of choice within the Grande Prairie Public school system that focuses on both the spiritual and academic growth of our students. We have seen a steady increase in our numbers over the last five years. We are unreservedly committed to providing Christian education based on Biblical principles while still striving for academic excellence in completing the Alberta Education program of studies.

Who we are!

Our school's mission is to prepare our students for a lifetime of service to Jesus Christ and to equip them to live out Colossians 3:23, which states, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters." 

Our motto is, "Pursuing personal excellence and Christ-like character."

Principal's Message

 

We strive to promote high academic standards for every student and help each student realize their full potential. Excellence is the expectation for all students at Grande Prairie Christian School. In addition to classroom studies, we want to help each student develop his or her character based on Biblical standards and teachings. At Grande Prairie Christian School, we encourage strong moral values and provide a solid spiritual foundation for our students, emphasizing the importance of honesty, obedience, respect and accountability. Our goal is to enable students to realize their greatest potential, both academically and in Christ.
