Our History

Kleinburg Christian Academy (KCA), formerly known as Calvary Christian School (CCS) was founded in 1981 to meet the needs of a growing church.  The founding families firmly believed that a Christian school education was God’s plan for their child(ren). 

The school successfully operated at the church location on Bruce St. in Woodbridge until September 2003.  Sometime before, a member of the congregation generously donated a twenty-five acre parcel of land in Vaughan.  Plans were set in place to develop the property.  The congregation still believed strongly in the value of a Christ-centred school as evidenced by their desire to ensure a proper school facility would be erected on the new site. In fact, much of the building is used as a school facility with the church utilizing the gym area for the worship service on Sundays.  The gym is a full-sized facility, in addition to the ten classrooms, a library, a computer lab and a Chapel.  These facilities and the school program academically cover Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8.  The present enrolment is 110 students.

During the summer of 2006, in conjunction with the city of Vaughan, work began on developing our playing fields.  They were completed in the Spring of 2007.  KCA now boasts of two full-sized soccer fields, several other make-shift fields, a baseball diamond, a climbing appartus and a fenced-in playground for JK/SK. In the summer of 2008, a fenced-in playground for our kindergarten students was completed. It includes a shed for toys, pavement, sod and a sandbox. We have recently added tether balls, basketball nets, and pavement games (hopscotch and four-square) to our Junior/Intermediate playground. Our facilities, inside and out, will prove to be a blessing for years to come.

KCA has become an integral ministry of Nashville Road Community Church in Kleinburg, and a symbol of excellence in education.  We anticipate continued growth, not simply in the number of students, but rather in our programming and character development of students who attend KCA.  Bigger is not necessarily better; better is better and we endeavour to seek to continually improve what a Christian school can offer.

Academic Curriculum

It is our desire to provide a curriculum that is not only knowledge based, but allows the students the freedom to initiate, explore, discover, and investigate the world that God has created.  At the very youngest age level students are provided with the skills necessary in the major areas of Language Arts and Math in addition to explore the world through science and culture.  Our strong Bible program provides the foundation for a world-view from a Christian perspective.  Although Bible is taught as a regular part of our curriculum, it is our intent to integrate biblical morals, values and principles into all subject areas, while at the same time develop personal character.

We are re-fining our approach to education so that students are better able to see the relevancy of their learning to real life situations.  This approach allows the students to connect with the world in which they live and creates an environment of learning that intrinsically motivates them for further discovery.  The human brain craves a challenge and at KCA our goal is to see life-long learners developed.  Children learn in a variety of ways and we endeavour to provide opportunities for students to develop their talents in their area of strengths, while at the same time encouraging them to stretch beyond their comfort level.

KCA uses a variety of material from several organizations including Ontario Alliance of Christian Schools (OACS), Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI), Christian Schools International (CSI) and Pearson Canada, in order to give a broad based approach to the curriculum.  The school does follow the Ontario Ministry of Education guidelines which can be found on their website.  These are considered minimum guidelines as KCA strives to provide quality programming beyond the provincial requirements.
