What motivates our work at King’s Christian Collegiate?

We cherish young people whose unique identities start with being image-bearers of Christ.

We trust their attributes, abilities, insights, relationships, voices, and contributions are needed in our world. In our four-year window of working alongside high school students, we take seriously the opportunity to shape wonder, understandings, skills, connections, empathy, the well-being of self and others, and confidence as foundations for life-long learning and impacting the common good. All of this is done while exposing students to the love, care, saving grace, and teachings of Jesus and encouraging their personal faith journeys.

At King’s Christian Collegiate, we believe that the quality of education is greatly impacted by the staff who interact with students every day. Teachers are carefully selected for how their unique sense of personal presence and deep, enthusiastic understanding of their subject areas relates to their ability to engage and inspire students.

As a nondenominational Christian school firmly grounded in the love of Jesus and His teachings, our Christian teachers respect the diverse backgrounds of students and aim to foster intellectual hospitality while navigating different perspectives that all of us encounter as part of life and learning. We endeavour to provide a learning environment that encourages respect, belonging, curiosity, self-leadership, collaboration, critical thinking, and growth among students.

Foundational to excellent student learning, King’s is committed to a positive school and workplace culture and provides resources and faculty support to promote exemplary instruction and classroom design.

New employees may also be attracted to King’s faculty distinctives such as:

• a weekly Research & Development program
• a teacher mentor and the collegiality of teacher workrooms
• access to instructional coaches and opportunities to learning a coaching skillset
• expert support and consultations with the Learning Commons Team and Student Services staff, including certified social workers
• an assigned laptop and substantial daily professional preparation periods
