Saskatoon Christian School (SCS) is an independent faith-based elementary and secondary school located south of Lakeview and east of Stonebridge, in Corman Park, Saskatchewan, Canada. The institution provides Christian instruction from Kindergarten to Grade 12, in full compliance with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Education's Goals of Education and Curriculum Policy. [1]

The school was established in 1983, and is operated by the Saskatoon Society for Christian Education.

History

In 1978, a few families decided to build a Christian school in Saskatoon and, in 1981, the Saskatoon Society for Christian Education was formed. The school opened in 1983, using three rented rooms at John Lake School, with 33 students, 2 staff and a K-8 program. The school moved to 2410 Haultain Avenue as tenants of the Saskatoon Full Gospel Church in 1985.

In 1993, SCS received Accredited School status from the Saskatchewan Department of Education. In the following year, the school introduced Grade 9 into its curriculum. In 1999, SCS was accepted as an “associate school” with Saskatoon Public School Division which allowed the school to receive partial funding and access to school division resources. In 2002, the school added Grades 10 to 12 to its curriculum.

In 2003, the school's current facility was built on 37 acres of land. Student enrollment reached 350 in 2010, prompting the school to expand its facilities to include four additional classrooms, a fine arts room and a multi-purpose auditorium.

In 2020, the school was awarded Qualified Independent School status by the Ministry of Education.

In 2022, SCS became the first Certified Independent School in the province. [1]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Education in Saskatchewan</span>

Education in Saskatchewan, Canada, teaches a curriculum of learning set out by the Government of Saskatchewan through the Ministry of Education. The curriculum sets out to develop skills, knowledge and understanding to improve the quality of life. On June 22, 1915, Hon. Walter Scott, Premier and Minister of Education, set out as his mandate the "purpose of procuring for the children of Saskatchewan a better education and an education of greater service and utility to meet the conditions of the chief industry in the Province, which is agriculture". Education facilitates the cultural and regional socialization of an individual through the realisation of their self-potential and latent talents. Historically, the region of Saskatchewan needed successful homesteaders so the focus was to develop a unified language for successful economic trading, and agricultural understanding to develop goods, livestock and cash crops to trade. After the mechanized advancements following the industrial revolution and World War II, the primary employment agriculture sector of farming was not as labour-intensive. Individuals focused on secondary industries such as manufacturing and construction, as well as tertiary employment like transportation, trade, finance and services. Schools became technologically more advanced and adapted to supply resources for this growing demand and change of focus.
