Each parent/guardian wishing to enrol a student in King’s usually becomes a member of King’s Christian Collegiate first. As a community of Christian parents, teachers and supporters, we are committed to involvement in all aspects of the operation of King’s. Membership is open to all who confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, and sincerely agree with our Vision and Mission statements. Members should be actively involved in the life of their home church and display Christian principles concerning lifestyle, marriage and the upbringing of their children.

A Board of Directors elected by King’s members manages the affairs of the King’s community, including setting policy, appointing administration and other staff, and appointing committees to support the school.

King’s accepts students with a range of learning styles into its academic program. The majority of our students intend to pursue higher education and are equipped for their futures in a challenging academic environment that rewards student initiative and learning-readiness. A key component of the admissions process is an interview with the Director of Admissions and the submission of all academic records and educational testing, where appropriate. No written entrance test is required.

A strong support system is in place to meet the unique needs of our international students. Along with ESL classes and teachers, there is a guidance counsellor ready to provide direction, encouragement and assistance. Our faculty is keenly aware of the transition cycle that is common for students who have moved away from their homes and culture, so teachers are generous in their encouragement and, when necessary, accommodations. Our Student Life advisors and Prefects are intentional about helping our international students integrate into the student body. There is a special Student Council role for the International Student Representative. Every year, special activities are planned to expose students to Canadian culture and geography, and to help them build connections among the student body. Several international students have been acknowledged as leaders at King’s – winning competitions in art and mathematics, and securing roles such as Prefects, club organizers, and sports team captains. Recently, an international student was elected by the student body as the Student Council Prime Minister (2010). Many international students have graduated from King’s Christian Collegiate with top honours and have been accepted into prestigious universities in Canada and the United States. We endeavour to help our international students achieve the goals and dreams that convinced them to make the bold decision of studying in Canada.

King’s Christian Collegiate was created to provide Christian education for the Halton
area Christian community.

We are committed to the provision of an enriched and challenging program for every
student. Students and teachers work well together when they experience clearly defined
tasks. Teachers are expected to teach with expertise, with passion, with care for the
student, and most important, with a supreme love for God. Exemplary instruction is
considered to be a cornerstone for learning.

Research is clear that it is not select programs, not course variety, and not class size
that predicts student success. Rather, the best predictor for student success is skilled
teachers who care deeply for their students and are committed to their well-being.
King’s is designed to meet the learning needs of up to 700 students.

Students are expected to enter the school with a learning readiness. Their job is to
attend to learning. They are required to show energy towards this task by actively
participating in the dynamic of the classroom, working diligently on assignments, asking
for learning help when necessary and showing respect for one another and God in all
situations. It is the student who is most responsible for their learning.

To protect this vision and mission for Christian education, the Board of Directors has
adopted the following admission criteria:

a) The parents or guardian are required to be members of King’s Christian Collegiate
(as per the Membership Policy).
b) An appropriate program placement must be available for the student as discerned by
Admissions peronnel.
c) The parents or guardian and the student agree that the student will participate in all
compulsory courses and school activities.
d) The student agrees to read, understand and endorse The King’s Student Charter for a Flourishing Life.
e) At the discretion of the Administration, an exception can be made to criteria (a) if it is
determined that admission is beneficial for the student and for King’s Christian
Collegiate. There will be a limit of 40 non-member families with students at King’s.

The Board reserves the right to deny or to remove admission due to any of the following
criteria:

• insufficient classroom space as per policy
• inability to serve specific learning needs
• behaviour contrary to school policy
• any other reason that the Board may deem in the best interest of the King’s
  community and/or the student

Admissions Priority Process

In the event that a grade level reaches capacity, the criteria below will be used to
determine priority sequence for admission if new spaces should materialize. These
criteria will hold precedence until December 1 of the year preceding the student’s
September enrolment.
Priority #1
The first priority is current or prior enrolment at King’s Christian Collegiate by a sibling.
Priority #2
The second priority is the date of initial membership, and continuous thereafter, until
enrolment.
Priority #3
The third priority is the date of the registration of the student as a prospective student
via the King’s admissions online portal. This criterion is conditional on the provision of
all forms, documentation and fees to the office within ten working days of the student
interview.
