Education Assistant

Start date: August 26, 2024

Our learning support services department is accepting applications for education assistants to join our team for the 2024/25 school year.

Surrey Christian School is a PreK-12 school of over 1,300 students located in Surrey, an ethnically diverse urban and suburban community just outside of Vancouver. Our mission statement, “Educating for wholeness by engaging God’s world in the servant way of Jesus”, shapes everything we do. Surrey Christian School is a growing community with a strong staff dedicated to student learning that inspires students to become fully alive in God’s story.

As a non-denominational Christian school, our enrolled families represent over 170 different churches. Surrey Christian School is governed by a board of directors representing the Surrey Christian School Society membership. The foundation of our Christian faith is grounded in the contemporary testimony, Our World Belongs to God, and it is that distinct perspective that shapes our vision. Our confidence in this particular vision of God working in our world has inspired us to open our enrolment to families from other faiths.
