Educational Philosophy & Program
Devon Christian School is a K – 10 Christian day school committed to a Biblical standard of spiritual and academic excellence. We believe that every child is made in the image of God and has unique talents and needs. Devon Christian School provides a program which enables each child to grow spiritually, academically, socially and physically so that he or she is equipped for service to God. We are committed to a Biblical standard of excellence for the glory of God in all that we do. We believe that anything worth learning should be learned well and the role of the teacher is to ensure that learning occurs for every student. We have focused our curriculum on a select group of core and complementary subjects which we strive to teach with excellence.

Parental Involvement
We believe that Scripture places ultimate responsibility for the education of children with their parents. The school exists to serve parents by assisting them in fulfilling this responsibility. It has been shown that where parents are actively involved in their children's education, achievement invariably improves. We are therefore committed to maintaining an active role for parents both inside and outside the classroom. All parents are expected to give some time to help in the school each year. Parents are kept informed of school events through a monthly newsletter. Parent-Teacher-Student Fellowship nights help parents in their role of supporting the school's ministry at home.

History
Devon Christian School opened in the fall of 1991 with Grades 1 – 7. An expansion in the fall of 1992 incorporated kindergarten and grade 8. Grade 9 was added in 1993. Classroom facilities are situated in portables behind the Devon Alliance Church as well as a classroom in the church which also houses washrooms, a regulation size gymnasium and kitchen facilities.
