​
Nanaimo Christian High School is a community where students and staff work together to create learning experiences that are challenging, flexible and relevant. We provide Christ-centered learning that responds to student culture, needs and interests.
Choice is important. Gifts are developed. Our students will have impact.
At NCS, students benefit from learning opportunities that combine the use of relevant technology with in-class guidance from teachers. We aim to meet the needs of diverse learners through our flexible delivery model, while also offering unique opportunities for learning through independent directed studies.
Our goal is to educate students so that, upon graduation from high school, they demonstrate: academic competence, spiritual growth and lifestyle integrity.

Program highlights
BYOD technology integration
NCS high school students are part of a Bring Your Own Device program (BYOD). NCS is a Google Education Fundamentals environment, which means that a personal Chromebook or laptop is required for all studies. Integrating technology allows teachers to provide more relevant and engaging learning experiences. Within our program, we take the time to educate our students about the appropriate use of technology as well as how we can use technology to live out our school mission statement.
​
Google Classroom
We use Google Classroom to help students organize and keep track of assignments, as well as access class resources. Parents receive a link to their child’s Google Classroom and are emailed a summary report at the end of each week.
Mentorship & homeroom
Each of our high school students is matched with a mentor teacher who becomes a coach, cheerleader, sounding board and sometimes even a friend after graduation. This teacher facilitates their homeroom and Bible classes, as well as support them through their career curriculum and reflection on core competency development. They have multiple connection points weekly with this teacher to check-in, celebrate successes, and work through challenges with academics, peers, stress levels, etc.
Leadership & service
Our high school has an active student council that holds up students in prayer and organizes spirit days, larger events, service projects, and other volunteering in the community. NCS students are always looking for ways to reach out and support others in both our school and local community.
Out-trip adventures
Our students have various opportunities to participate in out-trips throughout their time in high school. These range from team-building trips at camp to short-term service trips and cultural exchanges.

“The teenage years are often times when students are pushing boundaries and discovering what it means to be their own adult. Providing a place for teenagers to be supported by Christian adults who take an invested interest in their lives is something we value highly."
