Featured School
Gibsons Christian School
Principal:Deborah Levy
Students: 35
Teachers: 4
Gibsons Christian School is unique on the Sunshine Coast in offering education from a biblical Christian perspective. The school began as a satellite of Horseshoe Bay Christian school with a number of families ferrying students to Horseshoe Bay four days a week. After obtaining society status, GCS was able to have an on-site principal and develop its own character. Several of the founding families are still represented in the school population. We are an interdenominational evangelical school drawing from many churches from West Sechelt through to Gibsons. Presently GCS has 3 classes serving 35 students from Kindergarten to Grade 9 in rooms rented from the Christian Life Assembly church. We look forward to a time in the future when we may have our own building and add preschool to our classes.
