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.

It has been a blessing to me personally and professionally to have taught and administered in Christian Schools for over 20 years. I am challenged to integrate faith and learning each day in the classrooms, hallways, and yard at KCS. More than I minister, I am ministered to as I treasure every opportunity KCS gives children to engage their Creator in wisdom and in service. This is profound worship for me.

I believe that God in his goodness has given each one of us gifts and talents, in varying degrees and forms. My role at KCS allows me to use those God given gifts to guide, encourage, and teach children. As an Educational Assistant and the Before and After School Program Coordinator, I have the pleasure of interacting with students individually and in small groups.
To me personally, there is nothing more rewarding than helping a student work through an area of struggle, to watch students’ faces as they enjoy learning, to listen to children laughing, or simply watch them grow and mature. My daily prayer is that the love of God would show through me while I work with the students and families He has brought to KCS. God is quite amazing, (for a lack of a better word), for He knows that my work at KCS, truly satisfies the needs of my heart!
