Immanuel Christian School Winnipeg

What Immanuel Christian School Winnipeg does

Immanuel Christian School Winnipeg is a private, non-profit K-12 Christian school operating under the Canadian Reformed School Society of Winnipeg, Inc., a Manitoba-incorporated society. Founded in 1976 and located at 215 Rougeau Avenue, Winnipeg, the school delivers a Reformed, covenant-based curriculum to approximately 200 students drawn almost exclusively from members of Grace Canadian Reformed Church, Redeemer Canadian Reformed Church, and Providence United Reformed Church. Its core offering is the full K-12 academic program rooted in Reformed Christian doctrine, governed by a society board and led by a Principal (Tim VanderHooft) supported by two Vice-Principals (Colleen Veenendaal and Dave Nienhuis).\n\nThe school does not operate proprietary technology. Its digital footprint consists of standard productivity and information tools: Google Classroom for assignment distribution and submission, Google Mail for staff/student communication, and the ICS Library System for catalog and circulation management. These are off-the-shelf ed-tech platforms used to support instruction rather than to differentiate the curriculum.\n\nThe revenue model combines member tuition/membership fees, partial per-pupil funding from the Province of Manitoba (administered via accreditation through the Manitoba Federation of Independent Schools), and tax-receipted donations from the supporting congregations and broader community. The go-to-market motion is community-led: families are admitted through their congregational membership, and there is no external marketing, recruitment funnel, or pricing tiering. The school is affiliated with the Manitoba Federation of Independent Schools (MFIS) and the Compass League of Reformed Schools, which provide accreditation, peer benchmarking, and sector alignment but do not constitute a growth channel.
