About us
Our School
Thunder Bay Christian School is located on an expanse of sprawling green space dotted with whispering pines. The school yard hosts baseball diamonds, soccer fields and several modern playground structures. New to the playground: an official size Hockey rink! Donated by the Staal brothers.
The school has a large gymnasium, computer lab, library, music room, special education resource room, special needs area, and Christ centered studies. Christian education affirms our participation in the covenant God made with us, and renounces the false separation between secular and sacred truth. Learning music, language, and mathematics from the Christian perspective draws our attention to the wonder of God and what he has created. TBCS is a Multi-denominational school that is supported by many churches throughout the city.
TRANSPORTATION
TBCS offers bussing inside and outside city limits.
LIBRARY
Our library is modern and fully equipped with fiction, non-fiction, reference books and magazines.
MUSIC
In our music program, various musical opportunities as well as supplemental piano lessons during school hours for interested students is offered. For grades 7/8, guitar class is part of curriculum.
Assemblies, which combine speaking, singing, musical instruments, and acting experiences are a monthly occurrence and a parent favorite!
PERSONAL SUPPORT WORKER
The school employs one special education teacher as well as a personal support worker. A French educator is also part of our staff.
DEVOTIONS
Mornings at TBCS begin with devotions and Bible studies that are a regular curriculum component.
T.B.C.S is a member of the Ontario Alliance of Christian Schools and a member of Christian Schools International. It is an interdenominational school operated by parents. In 2010/11 TBCS has 107 students registered in JK/10. Thunder Bay Christian School was established in 1962.
