FAQ
What sets your school apart from other schools?
In a warm community we integrate faith and academics in meaningful ways at each grade level. Our mission is Christlike character, and we know that can only be achieved by knowing Him and understanding His word. We are on your side when it comes to worldview and values. We are partnering with you as you raise your kids up to the glory of Christ. We want school to be safe and peaceful for your kids too. Our school environment allows kids to flourish in their learning without fear. Students often don’t want to leave at the end of a school day, or at the end of grade eight! Yet they flourish in life, and report back to us that their school experience at Foundation was special.
What curriculum do you use?
Our curriculum builds on and modifies the Ontario Ministry of Education guidelines. However, our approach to teaching provides a consistent and scaffolded learning environment for students. In addition to the recommended curriculum, students at Foundation have many academic advantages. Visit our curriculum page for more information.
How is the Bible incorporated into your classes?
We have a structured Christian Education curriculum taught in our Christian Education classes, which includes Bible reading and Bible memorization. However, we integrate the truths of the Bible into all curriculum areas and into many relational aspects of our school community.
Is your school run by a church denomination?
Families in our school represent a variety of denominations. Our school is built on the word of God, as we always look towards our Lord and Saviour. We recognize that the Church is diverse and focus on our core beliefs underpinned by our Statement of Faith, on the basis that our school community represents a cross section of God’s children.
What is the tuition fee?
Visit our tuition and financial aid page for tuition amounts. We do what we can to help families afford the costs. If you have any questions, we would be happy to speak with you. Please feel free to contact us.
Is transportation an additional expense?
Transportation is an extra fee based on a per family rate. Foundation is part of a larger transportation system which is managed by Woodland Christian High School. The cost for this service is set each academic year and is included on our tuition page. Routes are confirmed late summer.
Do you have a dress code?
We do have a dress code. Students are to dress in navy blue, khaki, hunter green and white.

Currently we offer both full-time and part-time kindergarten options for both Junior and Senior Kindergarten. Part-time kindergarten students come to school on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, while full-time kindergarten students are at school for five full days of the week.
How long has your school been in existence?
Foundation Christian School has been in operation since 2006.
