Admissions

Thank you for your interest in Smithville Christian High School. We are excited about the blessing of Christian education, and we hope you are too.

We are proud of the way we can meet the needs of all students and we work hard to make Christian education affordable to families. Please read on to learn more about how Christian education can be a blessing to your family.

Because Smithville Christian High School is an independent school which receives no government support, the annual tuition payments can seem daunting, especially if this is your first introduction to Christian education or if you are already paying an elementary school tuition. However, there are a number of bursaries and programs in place to help. Some are needs-based, some are elective and some are voluntary. In addition, Revenue Canada provisions for charitable giving mean that some of the payments are considered a charitable donation and are tax refundable. Please contact Marlene Bergsma, the Director of Communications and Advancement (mbergsma@smithvillechristian.ca), for more information about the various forms of assistance that are available. Please contact the Interim Principal, Lisa Doyle (lisa.doyle@smithvillechristian.ca) for a confidential discussion of the financial aid programs that are available. If you want Christian education for your child, we will do our utmost to make it possible.

Admissions Process

Please contact the school office (office@smithvillechristian.ca) and schedule an appointment with our student services department to tour the school, to meet the Interim Principal, Fred Breukelman, to discuss your family’s education needs and to discuss your student’s education plan.

During the visit, you will be given the school registration package which includes:
●  A registration form.
●  A tuition form with this year’s updated tuition information.
●  A student fees form.
●  A pre-authorized payment form.
●  A transportation form.
●  Information about our tuition reduction voucher program.
●  A membership package.

You will also have the opportunity to fill out a course selection sheet. Grade 9 students fill out the Grade 9 Intention Form.

Grade 8 Day

Every November, on Take-Your-Child-To-Work Day, Smithville Christian High School hosts Grade 8 Day, specifically designed to introduce Grade 8 students to high school life. It’s a fun-filled, action-packed day that allows students to tour the school, meet the teachers, and find out what they can expect on a typical day in high school. Please contact the school for more details about this year’s version of Grade 8 Day, or to register. We love introducing young students to our school because it’s such a welcoming place.

Open House

Every January, Smithville Christian High School hosts an Open House to showcase our school to prospective families. If you have a student in Grade 6, 7 or 8, or you are interested in attending this fun, free, no-obligation family event, please contact the school for more information about this year’s version. We’d love to show you why we’re so excited about our school.
