For 40 years, the Orangeville Christian School community has been blessed with the opportunity to advance God’s kingdom through Christian education. For 40 years, our students have been challenged to trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour and to acknowledge Him as the Lord of their lives. For 40 years, our teachers have witnessed the Holy Spirit confirm the truth of Scripture to their students’ hearts as He cultivates an intimate relationship with Him through prayer, classroom devotions and Bible study.
Your donations enable us to pay our monthly fibre internet bill. High speed internet greatly enhances our learning!
Our school theme this year is based on John 15:5, “I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.” Just as a vine needs the sap and nutrients from its stem to produce blossoms and fruit, so we need the life-sustaining power of our God to bless our school – without Him, we can do nothing. God is at work at OCS and He continues to accomplish His work through you. You are a wonderful blessing from God.

- We continue to focus on improving student learning. Our external MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) testing confirms that our students continue to grow academically.
With all the blessings above, God is providing space for His work as well.
- Construction is almost completed on our two new portables. The completion of the
portables will increase our capacity from 6 to 8 classrooms.
Your donations help us to meet our extra financial obligations as we grow.
We know that God is working all around us. Henry Blackaby in his book, Experiencing God, challenges his readers with the following words: “When you recognize where God is working, you can join Him in what He is doing. Then you will experience God doing through you what only He can do.” God is at work at OCS. Will you join Him?
In Christ,
Principal
