 FAQ's
|
|
- Are all of your teachers Christians?
- All of our teachers and support staff are dedicated Christians who are
members at a variety of Christian churches.
- Do you need to belong to a particular church to send your children to CCS?
- No, you don't. Covenant is a non-denominational school, with over 30
congregations represented among our student body. We see ourselves as a support
for Christian families in the raising of their children, and so we welcome
families from all Christian churches.
- How involved are parents at your school?
- Our parents are very involved in various aspects of Covenant. Some volunteer
in the school (eg. in classrooms, in the library, on field trips), some work
behind the scenes (eg. fundraising, praying) and some are involved in formal
ways (eg. members of the Society executive, School Council, committees).However
you are able, we will try to make use of your skills!
- Do the students wear uniforms?
- No, they do not. Our dress code requires modest dress.
- Do you plan on starting a high school?
- We do not have a plan for a high school at this point. But who knows what
God has in mind for our future?!
- Do you charge fees?
- Yes, we do. Look in the "Admissions" section for our current fees.
- What are the fees for?
- In addition to ‘regular fees’ such as field trips, we also charge fees
associated with our status as an alternative Christian program. These fees go
toward items such as Christian resource materials, hiring additional staff,
capital building projects, and transportation costs.
- What is the Leduc Society for Christian Education (LSCE)?
- The LSCE founded CCS as a private school in1983 and was the governing body
until September 2005, when CCS made the transition to an alternative
school/program within the Black Gold Regional Division. The Executive of the
LSCE continues to be very involved at CCS and is primarily responsible for
ensuring that the Mission and Vision of CCS remain strong. So when you read or
hear about the “society” (eg. Society administrator, society fees), we are
referring to the LSCE.
- How do your students compare to the province on Provincial Achievement
Tests?
- Our students in grades 3, 6 and 9 take the Provincial Achievement Tests and
do very well, usually scoring at or above the provincial averages. In this way
we can be confident that our students are receiving a strong academic
foundation.
- What do the students learn in Bible?
- In the elementary grades the Bible curriculum focuses on the key stories and
themes from both the Old and New Testaments. In junior high, the curriculum
becomes more theme/topic oriented, with lots of challenges to the students to
make personal connections and commitments.
- Is there bullying at your school?
- It is not a significant problem at CCS, but unfortunately we do on occasion
have students who treat others in disrespectful ways. We often say that we
don’t educate angels here at Covenant, so we can expect that there will be
issues with which we must deal. As one of our school rules is “I will respect
others” we treat bullying and other forms of disrespect
seriously.
