Opened in 1982, Nanaimo Christian School is a Christ-centered, grace-filled community with nearly 700 students in K-12 and 60 students in preschool. NCS teaches the curriculum provided by the BC Ministry of Education but in a different way. The approach to education is caring, flexible, and innovative, allowing children to reach their unique potential so they can live their calling and impact their community.

 

NCS is a place where students can belong, believe and achieve like never before.
