OUR
STORY
In September 2009 Centennial will begin its 44th
year of operation! The fact that Centennial has 44 years of
history is a testimony to God's faithfulness, as well as to the
visionary leadership of its founding members, and to the many
committed people who have built it into the thriving school that
it is today. Their persistence and dedication was driven by the
belief that all of life, including education, must fall under the
lordship of Christ.
Centennial began in 1967 (Canada’s Centennial Year!)
with students in grades 1 to 7. It has been existence since 1967
when facilities were available for rent from the Christian Reformed
Church. Through the donation of land and money and the
dedicated work of volunteers, a new facility was built in 1988/1989.
Growth and enrollment necessitated further additions in 1990 and
1993. In June of 2002, Centennial Christian School celebrated
its first ever grade 12 graduation. In the spring of 2008 a
decision was made to add preschool. Today, our
inter-denominational school accommodates more than 200 students from
Preschool through Grade 12. To date, eight classes
totaling 84 students have
graduated from grade 12 at Centennial Christian School.
Centennial Christian
School continues to be a member of the Society
of Christian Schools in B.C. (SCSBC) and Christian
Schools International (CSI).
