Classrooms came alive as students shared their learning with the people who support them every day. From walk-throughs to presentations, music, and hands-on demonstrations, Celebration of Learning is a highlight of our year. This video captures just a few of those special moments.

Our Grade 1, Cherished Keepers, are learning that God shows us His love and invites us to care for His world. They designed “cars of the future” to help meet the needs of people in our community. Their creativity and compassion shine so brightly.

Our Grade 4 students partnered with BC & Alberta Guide Dogs to do meaningful, real-world work that serves the needs of our community. Inspired by their class storyline, My Lighthouse, they discovered the joy of helping others and being a guiding light in God’s world, just as guide dogs faithfully lead and support those who rely on them each day.

Fearlessly exploring stories led our Humanities 8 students into meaningful connection with newcomers building a new life in Canada. They discovered how others’ journeys can illuminate their own identity, purpose, and place in God’s story. Grateful for the chance to learn, serve, and grow together.

As part of this learning journey students were inspired by members from our community sharing their experiences with receiving blood in a time of need. So our students had the opportunity to donate blood. We love this beautiful intersection of real learning, real people in our community, and a real need!

Mini courses at our school are special learning opportunities designed for grades 4 to 7 students to explore unique interests and skills outside the standard curriculum. These hands-on courses bring students from different grades together, fostering connections, while also broadening their knowledge and experiences.

Our Kindergarten students joyfully exploring the wonders of creation by working on their My Creation Book. This project allowed our kindergarteners to engage their creativity and curiosity as they reflect on the beauty of God’s world.

Here’s our Celebration of Learning events at our elementary campuses. We hope you feel encouraged by the beautiful and diverse learning experiences, and that you can see God’s character reflected throughout the hard work taking place in each of our classes.

Our Secondary campus held their first Celebration of Learning event! It was a chance to celebrate our students living into our school’s mission statement: “Educating for wholeness by engaging God’s world through the servant way of Jesus.”

Ms. Peters’ Grade 4/5 class has been living into their storyline, “Who We Are.” This refers to a person’s identity in Christ, and students have been living this out by being Earth Keepers, Servant Workers, Beauty Creators, and more. Most recently, they helped at “Backpack Buddies,” an organization that ensures kids have enough to eat over the weekends.

At our elementary campuses, classes take turns leading chapel.  Ms. Churchill and her Grade 2 class led the campus in chapel using their class Storyline: Falling in Love with God’s World.

Students live into this Storyline by exploring biodiversity in Science, various cultures in Social Studies, and patterns in Mathematics. They are learning to view themselves and others as image bearers, and the entire world as “God’s Masterpiece.”

Storyline is one of the ways we connect learning to God’s story. At SCS, each class has a Storyline that invites learners to be a part of how God is making all things new. This video illustrates a Media Design 9/10 Storyline: Made to Make.

A grade 1 class embraced their Storyline, “Bud, Blossom, Bless,” by connecting with a a school in Kenya.

Enjoy examples of classes at the Secondary campus doing outdoor education – one of the ways we are “Engaging God’s World” at Surrey Christian School!

Every Friday our kindergarten classes head to one of Surrey’s beautiful parks for their learning. This is one of the way we are “Engaging God’s World” at Surrey Christian School!

One Kindergarten class is learning the importance of being “Bucket Fillers” – encouraging others around them! To live this out, they created encouraging bookmarks for Secondary students as they finished up their school semester.

Mrs. Peter’s grade 6 class partnered with the Fraser Valley Gleaners, raising money to help continue their amazing work! This is an example of how a Formational Learning Experience can help meet a real need in the community.

Educating for Wholeness using Formational Learning Experiences (FLEx). At Surrey Christian School, we use FLEx opportunites to engage in “real work that meets a real need for real people.” As part of her grade 12 “Vocation in the Kingdom of God” class, Deborah worked with English language learners, building community during a difficult Covid pandemic year.

The grade 7 class spent the day at təmtəmíxʷtən/Belcarra Regional Park doing a variety of leadership and community building activities. “On a day like today, Educating for Wholeness is being a leader with integrity.”

We’re beginning a series of videos on the different ways teachers introduce ‘storyline’. Teachers use the language of storyline as a theme that runs through each class, “connecting learners and learning to God’s story.” This video shows an example from grade 4: ‘Mosaic’.

This Storyline video shows a grade 2 teacher, Mrs. Smith, introducing their storyline in the first week of school: ‘Gifted to Give.’

Educating for Wholeness using Formational Learning Experiences (FLEx). We use FLEx to engage in “real work that meets a real need for real people.” Ms. Vander Heiden’s students (along with other classes) have been engaging ‘real people’ at the Cloverdale Community Kitchen for many years in a variety of ways.
