Our Staff
KCS staff represents a diverse background of experience and church affiliations, yet they share a common devotion to Christian education in general, and to KCS in particular.
All our teachers qualify for certification with the Ontario Ministry of Education and many have advanced degrees and specializations. When we ask our Alumni what they appreciated most about their KCS years, they always say that it was the staff that impacted them most by giving them a tremendous sense of belonging and inspiration.
Like those who have graduated out of our community of learning, new families to KCS continue to treasure the professional, relational, and spiritual gifts that our staff share with students each day, and are grateful that they have chosen to serve in OUR midst.
