Agassiz Christian School

What Agassiz Christian School does

Agassiz Christian School (ACS) is a private interdenominational Christian school located in Agassiz, British Columbia, operating continuously since its founding in 1964 by a group of parents committed to Christian education. The school delivers preschool through Grade 7 programming following the BC Ministry of Education curriculum taught from a Christian worldview perspective, capped at small class sizes of 20 students for Kindergarten and Grade 1 and within 24 students for Grades 2-7. ACS serves families in the Fraser Valley region and is governed by the Agassiz Christian School Society as a membership-directed institution with an elected board.

The school generates revenue primarily through recurring annual tuition ($4,425 for 3-day Kindergarten, $7,295 for 5-day Kindergarten plus Grades 1-7 for one child, $9,220 for two children in 2026-27) and monthly preschool fees ($98.50-$133.50/month after the BC Childcare Fee Reduction Initiative), supplemented by a monthly hot lunch program through MunchaLunch. Supplementary income is effectively generated by a mandatory 5 volunteer hours per family annually, valued at $250, which offsets operational costs. Programs include differentiated learning supports (Reading Eggs, Mathletics, Reading Recovery, Precision Reading, Lexercise, speech therapy, ESL), specialty offerings (Coding and Robotics, IGNITE electives for Grades 4-7, Outdoor Learning, Exploratories for Grades 6-7, Athletics, Arts, Chapel, Buddies), and a mobile app for community communication.

ACS employs a community-led and sales-assisted go-to-market model combining private tours with the Principal, a structured four-step admissions process, website/SEO, parent testimonials, and referral from multi-generational alumni families. The school maintains affiliations with the Society of Christian Schools in B.C., Christian Schools International, Educators Christian of British Columbia, CPA BC, and Best Christian School Canada, and operates a feeder pipeline with Unity Christian School in Chilliwack for Grades 8-12 graduates. Most teaching is delivered by 8 full-time teaching staff supported by roughly 10 educational assistants and 3 administrative/support staff, with no AI/ML capabilities and reliance on third-party digital learning platforms.
