North Toronto Christian School

What North Toronto Christian School does

North Toronto Christian School (NTCS) is a private, non-profit K-12 Christian school established in 1981 and located on a 5-acre main campus in North York, Ontario, Canada. The school operates from Junior Kindergarten through Grade 12 and integrates academic instruction with an evangelical Christian worldview. In addition to its main campus, NTCS operates the 76-acre Chandos Outdoor Education Centre, which supports outdoor education, summer camp programming, and aquatic activities. The school is a member of the Edvance Christian Schools Association, TDCAA, and SSAF, participating in inter-school athletics and accreditation networks within the Canadian Christian education sector.

NTCS generates revenue primarily through tuition fees, set at $14,532 per year for domestic students and $22,010 per year for international students, with additional revenue from ancillary programs including a community-accessible aquatics program and Camp Ke-Mon-Oya. The school employs 31 staff and is governed by a five-member Board of Directors, with operational leadership under Principal Nicole Brouwer, Administrator/Treasurer Gordon Cooke, and Vice-Principal David Van Erve. Google Classroom serves as the primary learning management platform. In 2011, the school reintegrated Yorkland School after a period of separate operation, consolidating its academic programs under a single organizational structure.

For the 2026 calendar year, NTCS is launching a Summer ESL program alongside its continuing summer camp operations, signaling an effort to expand its international student pipeline and seasonal revenue streams. The school's value proposition centers on faith-integrated education, small-class community, and outdoor programming assets, serving evangelical Christian families in the Greater Toronto Area as well as international students seeking a faith-based secondary education in Canada.
