Through our curriculum and activities, junior kindergarten students become a part of the Grace Christian School community, participating in school assemblies and seasonal concerts, as well as their own special graduation ceremony at year end.
Upon completion of Junior Kindergarten, students will be prepared to continue their education in the solid academic programs offered by Grace Christian School’s kindergarten, elementary and provincially accredited high school. It is our desire that all children in our Junior Kindergarten attend GCS however some parents send their children to public schools. Children who attend GCS Junior Kindergarten have an excellent foundation and perform well above the average in public schools.
Junior Kindergarten follows the same schedule as Grace Christian School, with classes starting in September and running until the third week of June.
