Participating Christian Schools

Wellandport Christian School is a private/independent school, founded in 1958. The school is a member of Christian Schools International and the Ontario Alliance of Christian Schools. The former is an organization that represents approximately 106,000 students in both Canada and the United States. The later organization, the Ontario Alliance of Christian Schools, represents 85 schools in the Province of Ontario.

Wellandport Christian School prides itself in its high academic standards. For example, every other year the students of Grades 3 through 8 are administered the Canadian Tests of Basic Skills (CTBS). This test, which is administered over a 5 day period, is a very comprehensive standardized achievement test comprised of approximately 12 subtests. The norms for the test have been established by 45,000 students from across Canada. Traditionally the students of Wellandport Christian School score on average more.

Covenant Christian School was established in 1988 to provide excellent Christian education to students from Junior Kindergarten to grade eight. In everything we do at Covenant we strive to help students "Live for Jesus, Learn for Life and Serve with Gladness". Exploring God's creation in a safe, positive community setting, with dedicated teachers has led to a top quality education for our students.
